= Package Management TODO = * Implement support for "shine-through" directories in a mounted packagefs. * Extend packagefs to provide symlinks for base paths of packages and their dependencies (needed for dealing with packages that hard-code absolute paths). * Work on tools to build Haiku packages in a clean chroot environment. * Define packaging guidelines and create a tool to check packages those. * Adjust build "recipes" for HaikuPorts packages as needed and build the packages. * Extend packagefs to provide information about active packages to the tools that need it (e.g. the package solver). * Implement the package solver (as Oliver proposed based on libsatsolver). * 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. * If necessary, add a caching mechanism to packagefs to speed up mounting it. * Implement a GUI package manager. * 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.
