OpenSPM

A lightweight, cross-platform package manager for distributing binaries and source with a simple YAML repository format.

OpenSPM focuses on simplicity and portability: host repositories on any web server, serve package indexes as YAML, and install packages with minimal tooling. It supports tag-based compatibility, dependency resolution, and both binary and source packages.
