tipi.build A New C++ Package Manager
summary
tipi.build claims a cloud-first C++ package manager with a global build cache that stores build artifacts (not full executables), spins up remote build runners, and uses a source scan to detect symbols and infer dependencies so it can generate build scripts. it treats any compiler flag as an ABI breaker, populates the cache from real builds, compresses thousands of snapshots into tiny packs (~100 MB for many revisions), and is dogfooded and used productively.
