step 1: ask yourself, why am i writing a package manager where there are like 56 other ones out there
step 2: ok but really, is that a good enough reason
step 3: really?
step 4: no, it's not, stop
step 5: There are now 57 other ones out there lol
But none for SQLite extensions, which is what the article is about.
A lot are in the arch repos, and the rest in the AUR ¯\(ツ)/¯

🤷
files in a package requiring a script to install them
seems like that's been done already
but you know, make a different repo and manager for every different app on the system and then secure them all
NixOS has this "one installer for everything" approach and it's wildly complicated, needing users to learn a DSL. I can't think of any other successful one-size-fits-all package managers.
