Introduce APT backend support for Debian/Debian-derivative systems alongside the existing APK backend for Alpine Linux. The codebase is refactored from a single APK-specific implementation into a trait-based architecture with a generic
PackageManagerHandler<T>that works with any backend implementing thePackageManagertrait. The server auto-detects the host OS at runtime via file system markers (/etc/alpine-release,/etc/debian_version) and selects the appropriate backend.Changes
PackageManagertrait defining a common interface (install_package,install_package_with_version,search_package,list_installed_packages,refresh_repositories)PackageManagerHandler<T: PackageManager>generic handler that implementsServerHandleronce for all backendssrc/apk.rsintosrc/backend/apk.rsas anApkstruct implementingPackageManagersrc/backend/apt.rswithAptstruct implementingPackageManagerusingapt-get,apt-cache, andaptcommands withDEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractivemain.rsto select the correct backend at startupAGENTS.md,Makefile, and.dev-mcp.jsonto reflect multi-backend supportNotes
The APT backend uses
apt-cache madisonfor version lookup ininstall_package_with_version, compared to APK's multi-repository search approach. Input validation for APT additionally allows colons (for architecture-qualified package names likepackage:amd64) and tildes (for Debian version strings like1.0~beta).flowchart TD Start([Server starts]) --> Detect{OS detection} Detect -->|/etc/alpine-release| APK[PackageManagerHandler<Apk>] Detect -->|/etc/debian_version| APT[PackageManagerHandler<Apt>] Detect -->|Neither| Err[Exit with error] APK --> MCP[MCP endpoint at /mcp] APT --> MCPCloses: #7
