FieldmouseFieldmouse Works builds open-source software for ecosystems that are expensive, restrictive, difficult to leave, or designed around permanent vendor dependence. The goal is practical: you should be able to run the software, understand it, move your data, and keep operating on your own terms.
A cross-distro Linux package manager that installs RPM, DEB, and Arch packages across Fedora, Ubuntu, and Arch while preserving each format's lifecycle semantics.
Conary runs those formats through one atomic, content-addressed transaction model with history, rollback, and immutable system generations. The maintainer-operated Remi service provides package conversion and metadata.
Early preview: use a VM or a non-critical host.
FieldmouseWorks/ConarySelf-hosted training-record software for emergency communications, designed around versioned programs, immutable finalized records, acknowledgments, lawful disposition, recovery, and portable exports.
Consolebook is an open alternative to closed public-safety training and employee-record systems, with agency-owned data and self-hosting as first-class requirements.
Pre-alpha: design and buildable scaffold.
FieldmouseWorks/consolebookOther repositories hold supporting libraries and archived experiments used by the projects above, such as rpm-rs, a pure Rust library for working with RPM files.
Fieldmouse Works is named for the small creature willing to take on something much larger than itself. That is a useful model for the work here: find the closed system, understand what it actually does, and build the open door.
