| 3 | * Extend packagefs to provide symlinks for base paths of packages and their dependencies (needed for dealing with packages that hard-code absolute paths). |
| 4 | |
| 5 | * Work on tools to build Haiku packages in a clean chroot environment. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | * Define packaging guidelines and create a tool to check packages those. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | * Adjust build "recipes" for HaikuPorts packages as needed and build the packages. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | * Extend packagefs to provide information about active packages to the tools that need it (e.g. the package solver). |
| 12 | |
| 13 | * Implement the package solver (as Oliver proposed based on libsatsolver). |
| 14 | |
| 15 | * Extend the package kit and the (CLI) package manager to support adding, removing, and updating packages. That probably also involves work on a server-side (i.e. repository) part. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | * If necessary, add a caching mechanism to packagefs to speed up mounting it. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | * Implement a GUI package manager. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | * Make the `update` feature of the build system usable again. Currently for anything in the `haiku.hpkg` package the whole package has to be rebuilt, which takes a rather long time. |
