Adrien Destugues 0ab9c3c538 Move source and development packages out of /system/packages on release images Activating all these packages on live boot (especially live DVD where we also have the write overlay eating up RAM) significantly increases memory requirements for running Haiku, to the point that Installer may fail to run. Move them outside the packages/ directory so they are not activated. Installer already skips the _sources_ directory when installing, and lists the contents of _packages_ with checkbox to decide what to include in the install (they are put in system/packages on the target disk). Fixes #15621.

Haiku

Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs

Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.

Goals

Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
Clean, clear, concise code.
Unified desktop environment.

Trying Haiku

Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.

Compiling Haiku

See ReadMe.Compiling.

Contributing

Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!
