#3Big fan! Was like magic at first but now I have a big bunch of Aptfiles to deal with instead... Currently working on solving that with the next-generation tool apt-bundle-bunch, which has a simple declarative format to manage your apt-bundle projects in an Aptbundlefile. It's already great for agents and Im working with Claude on a curl|sh install for the v1.

Given your username, do you have the same reaction to bundler?

Good luck share the progress and let us know how it goes. Is it similar to nix? but from what I can feel, is intending to be simpler?

#7Looking at internal/commands/install.go, it only installs new packages, but doesn't uninstall removed ones. That's the biggest benefit of Brew bundle gone.
BTW how much of it is vibe coded?

What shell scripts would help here? I love me some shell scripting but always reached for debfoster before falling in love with Pac-Man's `-Qe` and `-Qt`
Edit: oh this aptfile doesn't do the one thing I actually use brew bundle for: cleaning up the mess of leftover packages

#10Brew got one thing right that no Linux package manager seems to emulate: it doesn't require root for normal operations and even goes so far as to error out if running as root (https://docs.brew.sh/FAQ#why-does-homebrew-say-sudo-is-bad).
