{"slug": "openfromsource", "title": "OpenFromSource", "summary": "A developer released OpenFromSource, a Debian package management tool for modifying, building and installing packages, with all of its code generated by AI. The developer wrote that the project began as a tryout for Spec-Driven Development, that Kimi K3 and GLM 5.3 reviewed the code as it approached alpha, and that follow-up changes and fixes were made by DS 0731. The developer said OpenFromSource is not yet production ready but has been useful for updating systems in a homelab, and pointed readers to tutorials on its GitHub repository.", "body_md": "We all know what’s going on with the powers that be, so I’ll keep it light:\n\nOpenFromSource is a Debian package management tool that lowers the bar to modify, build and install packages [after the fall](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jqg1G78cH2A&t=12s).\n\nStarted out as a tryout for Spec-Driven Development. As a dev who has never done anything of this size with python, I’m pleasantly suprised with how it turned out.\n\nI carefully curated all the specs and (most of) the generated markdown files.\n\nHowever, all code is AI generated:\n\nWhen approaching alpha I let Kimi K3 and GLM 5.3 review the code, but the follow up changes/fixes were again done by DS 0731.\n\nWouldn’t call it production ready yet. Still, it’s been of good use updating a bunch of systems around the homelab.\n\nIf this has sparked your interest, be sure to check out the [tutorials](https://github.com/ingenerics/OpenFromSource#read-more).", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/openfromsource", "canonical_source": "https://forum.level1techs.com/t/openfromsource/259444#post_1", "published_at": "2026-10-24 23:24:52+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-10-24 23:41:24.167332+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "developer-tools", "ai-agents"], "entities": ["OpenFromSource", "Kimi K3", "GLM 5.3", "DS 0731", "GitHub", "Debian"], "also_reported_by": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/openfromsource", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/openfromsource.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/openfromsource.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/openfromsource.jsonld"}}
