A short time ago, I discovered the LinuxFromScratch project. After getting a system up and working (after much struggling), I realized that if I wanted to continue using LFS, some sort of package management would be quite nice. Of course I could have installed Pacman, apt-get, rpm, etc. like any sane person, perhaps. Instead, I was interested in creating my own simple 'package management' system that would keep track of files that belonged to a certain package, etcetera

and here is md5_gen.py (the idea for this code was found by searching Google for something like md5 python:

Sample .crate file:

I have attached two files:

1. package.py – a class that describes information about a package such as its name, its version, what its dependencies are, etc
2. fakeroot.py – this file is in charge of installing all of a package's files to the filesystem from a fakeroot, adding records of the installed files to a table in a database called Files, etc.

I have attached several files, two of which I think are particularly in need of review:

1. package.py – a class that describes information about a package such as its name, its version, what its dependencies are, etcetera
2. fakeroot.py – this file is in charge of installing all of a package's files to the filesystem from a fakeroot, adding records of the installed files to a table in a database called Files, etcetera
