Introducing pamm, an A3 mod manager with Linux support and much more

[u/1234thomas5]

After more than a year of development I am happy to announce that my self build Arma3 mod manager is finally good enough for the public.

What started as me wanting to improve our communities Swifty setup, over time morphed into it's own project that I feel would be a good fit for other communities too.

Some of the standout features are:

1. Full Linux support
   1. Downloading addons
   2. Launching Arma3
   3. Installing TS
   4. Other Proton Tools
2. One repo -> multiple packs
   1. Packs can be easily added/deleted/modified
   2. Can depend on one another (core pack with CBA, event pack with space mods)
   3. Are updated together
   4. Users can add local packs for mission making etc.
3. Delta patching of PBOs (only download the parts that changed)
4. Fast sync and build
5. Automatic server deployment (kinda experimental)
6. Fully featured GUI and CLI (win and linux)

And a bunch of other stuff.

The current stat of pamm is "feature complete", as in, totally usable right now, but if good ideas come up, I'll gladly add them in.

Linux is supported, but testing in the real would is still outstanding. I would appreciate some feedback here.
