Hello o/ I would like to develop a package manager in c# to expand my knowledge about the language and more understand how package managers put together entire system. so here are my questions: 1. where should I start? 2. do I invent my own pkg format or do I use pre built packages like deb or rpm? I think the later one will be more easier 3. how do I setup my dev environment I am on Ubuntu and has installed VS Code and dotnet sdk sorry it these questions feel too naive but I really think I can do this! Thanks in advance!

    nuget is flexible enough that I can repurpose it to almost anything. wait so you mean I can use nuget to install Linux packages too? that would be really awesome if true.

    Thank you for the reply!

      Yeah, you could probably make a linux distro that uses nuget for packaging… Hadn’t really thought about it but it should be doable.
