-Describe libpkg here.
+===== libpkg =====
+libpkg is a library provided by [[pkg]]
+Goal: reorganize common functionality among pkg_* tools into a single library. Provide the pkg_* tools similarly to the way fetch/libfetch exist?
+Some thoughts from WesleyShields:
+  - move the shared code of pkg_* into a library
+  - make pkg_* use said library
+  - optimize the internals of the library
+  - at this point you should have a good understanding of pkg internals  and what's good and bad about them
+  - possibly re-write pkg_* and libpkg to remove the ugly parts or make them better
