prefix-dev/pixi is a successor to Mamba and Conda which wraps libsolv like dnf. https://github.com/prefix-dev/pixi OpenSUSE/libsolv: https://github.com/openSUSE/libsolv OpenSUSE/zypper may have wrapped or may still wrap libsolv? TIL libsolv also supports arch .apk and .deb; there's a deb2solv utility to create libsolv .solv files: https://github.com/openSUSE/libsolv/blob/master/tools/deb2so... "[mamba-org/rattler:] A new memory-safe SAT solver for package management in Rust (port of libsolv)" (2024) https://prefix.dev/blog/the_new_rattler_resolver https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37101862 Pixi is integrating uv: https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/1572#issuecomment-194... astral-sh/uv [1] solves versions with PubGrub [2], which was written for Dart: [1] https://github.com/astral-sh/uv [2] https://github.com/pubgrub-rs/pubgrub uv's

benchmarks are run with hyperfine, a CLI benchmarking tool: https://github.com/sharkdp/hyperfine astral-sh/rye was mitsuhiko/rye, and rye wraps uv with "fallback to unearth [resolvelib] and pip-tools": https://github.com/astral-sh/rye https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2024/2/15/rye-grows-with-uv/ So, TIL it looks like rye for python and pixi for conda (python, r, rust, go,) are the latest tools for python packaging, not apt packaging. fpm is one way to create deb packages from python virtualenvs for install with the new APT solver, which resulted in this research.
