what

dro :: The tiny universal frontend for package managers

• Very small 1.5MB binary
• Provides a practical, universal package manager interface for any system
• Attempts to adhere to the suckless philosophy
• To be used on any/all Linux machines, macOS, inside containers, and in scripts

why

• Between work and personal machines I have to use over half a dozen package managers. This solves a problem I have.
• It's fun
