## What it is
Procursus is a Makefile-based cross-compilation build system that produces consistently up-to-date *nix tool packages and bootstraps for Darwin-based platforms (iOS, macOS). It originated in the iOS jailbreak community as a jailbreak-agnostic APT repository and package bootstrap.

## Use cases
- build up-to-date unix tools for iOS jailbroken devices
- create a jailbreak-agnostic APT repository bootstrap
- cross-compile packages for Darwin platforms
- bootstrap a macOS or iOS environment with core *nix tools
- maintain packages for multiple iOS package managers like Sileo and Zebra

## When to choose
- you need a maintained, jailbreak-neutral package bootstrap for iOS or macOS
- you want to cross-compile *nix tools for Darwin-based platforms
- you are building a jailbreak and want core system packages maintained separately from hooking libraries

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose Linux package manager or build system
- you want jailbreak tweak/hooking development tools - Procursus deliberately excludes them
- you are not targeting Darwin-based platforms

## Facets
- artifact type: infra-config
- maturity: active
- function: build-tool, package-manager, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, apple-ecosystem, operating-systems
- platform: macos, cross-platform, cli
- tags: jailbreak, apt-repository, bootstrap, makefile, darwin, cross-compilation, package-building, command-line, macos, ios
