Redox OS is a Unix-like microkernel OS written in Rust. Its running-system package
tool is pkg (from pkgutils), which installs cryptographically verified
pkgar binary packages from a Redox package server. cookbook holds build recipes
and redox_installer builds/writes the system image. pkg is user-invoked; there is
no background auto-updater.
