Hi,I'm really no expert on the subject of packaging systems, but it seems to me that the largest problem with creating such systems, is to what extend dependencies should be handled.
*) If package A depends on package B, should the package system check of package B is installed, and handle the situation of it is not? *) If the installed package A depends on the installed package B, and the user chooses to uninstall package B, should the package system check and handle this situation? *) If package A depends on the external library L in order to run, should the package system check that L is installed on the system?
*) ... (did I forget something?) /Søren
