grmpf
grmpf is a package manager for unpackaged software.
It is currently still a work in progress.
The basic idea is to have a simple installation manager, which can install software from different, but unpackaged, sources like github or web pages either locally into ~/.local or globally into /usr/local. Where grmpf is exceeding the capabilities of a simple make install is that grmpf can also check for updates and update the installed software. Just like a package manager would.
grmpf is released unter the terms of the MIT license.

A package manager for unpackaged software
A lot of software is available from github or similar sources, but not (yet) from my systems’ repositories, or only in a version that is too old for what I need. Installing from those sources is tedious and also requires active checking for updates and such. Also, removing such software may also be a little more involved than necessary.
