Pacstall - an AUR-inspired package manager for Ubuntu

The title says it all - if not, https://pacstall.dev and https://github.com/pacstall.

Use case: can't find software package X in the usual repositories, and you wish someone built the X package for you? Pacstall, if the package is available in their repository, will build the package on your machine (so you need the devx SFS) and install it.

I'm not endorsing pacstall in any way, I didn't even try it. I just happened to find it in the comments of a github issue, and thought it might interest some users of Ubuntu-based Woof-CE derivatives in this sub-forum.

Hi @step

Another option is BSD's pkgsrc, that builds 32 / 64 bits .tgz suitable to use in ubuntu and slackware based puppies.

I managed to build some 32 packages in Bionic32, see below
