Evolution

Name

I started organizing and auto-updating my bio-informatics git clones using a short ad-hoc bash script that I called gitman (GIT MANager)

Futher gitman got bloated into bspman, Bio-informatics Scripts Package Manager; OR equally correctly, Bash Script Package Manager.

Since my Motherbored-tongue is python, bspman had to evolve into pspman, Pythonic Small Package Manager; OR equally correctly, Personal Simple Package Manager.

Later, pspman was formally made object-oriented, parallellized and is no more Simple nor Small. Also,

  • it is hazardous to run pspman with sudo privileges;

  • pspman doesn’t manage packages. You do.

So, I call it PSeudo Package Manager.

OR equally correctly,

Personal Subsystem Package Manager.
