Warpforge: Decentralized supply chain management for building... Everything!
summary
Warpforge is an alpha build sandbox that uses content-addressed hashes and Merkle-tree catalogs to let builds compose multiple filesystem snapshots at arbitrary paths, declare file outputs (not just images), and choose between fetching or rebuilding inputs. It exposes a plain JSON API plus optional Starlark “build plugs,” and already produces real artifacts—several dozen packages including bash, python, vim and emacs—via demos and prototypes. Packaging output as zaps yields zero-dependency tarball apps that run on any Linux distro.
