Universal Package Manager (UPM)

Note: This is buggy as hell I am sure of it - works for xbps and apt pretty well. Please place issues here and add to shit with PRs if you want.

A unified command-line interface for managing packages across different Linux distributions. UPM provides a consistent interface for package management operations regardless of the underlying package manager (apt, dnf, pacman, etc.).

• 📦 Support for multiple package managers:
  • apt (Debian/Ubuntu)
  • dnf/yum (RHEL/Fedora)
  • pacman (Arch)
  • zypper (openSUSE)
  • apk (Alpine)
  • xbps (Void Linux)
  • emerge (Gentoo)
• 🚀 Support for universal package managers:
  • snap
  • flatpak
• 🔍 Version-specific package installation
• 📋 Repository management
• 🧹 Cache cleaning
• 🔗 Dependency handling
