The Wonderful Toolchain is my personal research project - a space to experiment with development tooling approaches for “retro” handhelds and other forgotten platforms. As such, it may not be the best choice if you want a long-term, dependable solution. However, if you like to tinker, you might find it just right.

Unfortunately, due to the R&D nature of the toolchain, no long-term stability guarantees can be made; I wish to retain the freedom to break and modify things to improve them. I will try my best to provide migration advice and information for any such breaking changes, however.

No, and it is unlikely to ever be possible. wf-pacman is customized to (a) treat /opt/wonderful as the root directory and (b) allow running without root.

• This approach allows reducing concerns of safety and security over a package manager that can write to the entire system space.
• The Wonderful toolchain wishes to minimize system configuration divergence while still supporting diverse configurations. Standardizing components of the toolchain helps maintain that goal.
