= Package Management TODO =

 * Extend packagefs to provide symlinks for base paths of packages and their dependencies (needed for dealing with packages that hard-code absolute paths).

 * Prepare packagefs to be usable in a chroot environment. Currently it resolves the package directory path in the kernel I/O context.

 * Build system: Before creating packages (e.g. the user guide), all files must be identified, since packagefs is read-only.

 * 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.

 * Implement query support in packagefs.

 * 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.
