source mage (or smgl in abbreviated form) is a sourcebased gnu/linux distribution based on a sorcery metaphor of "casting" and "dispelling" programs, which we refer to as "spells", and a package manager called "sorcery". our packages are designed to allow the user to customize the package any way they want (custom cflags, ldflags, ./configure flags, etc.) as well as offering as many of the package options as possible to the user upfront (you will not need to know what options a package has or what optional dependencies it can use ahead of time). source code is always downloaded from the publisher's website and rarely patched. smgl also includes many advanced features such as selfhealing and subdependencies.
