These are the TODO items for the Haiku **Package Management**.
|
|
|
|
packagefs
|
|
=========
|
|
- If necessary, add a caching mechanism to speed up mounting it.
|
|
|
|
Package Daemon
|
|
==============
|
|
- Complete support for extracting and updating settings files: Merge support and
|
|
user feedback are still missing.
|
|
- Add user notification/interaction support for initial verification
|
|
(on start-up).
|
|
- Support packages being copied to the ``packages`` directory. Currently only
|
|
moving works.
|
|
|
|
Package building
|
|
================
|
|
- Define packaging guidelines and create a tool to check packages against those.
|
|
|
|
- Status: Here's the `wiki page`_ defining the policy. It's still a work in
|
|
progress. haikuporter has some policy checking built in already.
|
|
|
|
.. _wiki page: PackagingPolicy.rst
|
|
|
|
Package kit/manager
|
|
===================
|
|
- Add system update support.
|
|
|
|
- Status: Mostly functional in pkgman (``pkgman full-sync``), but unsupported
|
|
in HaikuDepot.
|
|
|
|
Boot loader
|
|
===========
|
|
- Safe mode/recovery options:
|
|
|
|
- Disable packages installed in home.
|
|
|
|
Package/package repository format
|
|
=================================
|
|
- Add localization support. More_ info_.

|
|
|
|
- Add support for repository keys (public/private) and package
|
|
signing/checksums, so that it is possible to verify that data retrieved from a
|
|
repository have not been tampered with.
|
|
- Add package sizes to repository. Since there are plans to support xz (or other
|
|
high-ratio formats) compressed uncompressed packages for download that are
|
|
recompressed for installation, we probably need to discriminate between
|
|
download and installation sizes.
|
|
- Add support for a faster compression format (e.g. lz4_). As it turns out,
|
|
the currently used zlib compression is rather slow (slower than reading
|
|
uncompressed data from a slow HD).
|
|
|
|
.. _lz4: https://lz4.github.io/lz4/
|
|
|
|
- Add MIME info for types supported by packaged applications
|
|
(and sniffer rules?) to the package attributes.
|
|
|
|
Miscellaneous
|
|
=============
|
|
- Add MIME directory watching to registrar, so it can update the MIME DB caches
|
|
when packages are de-/activated.
|
|
- Get rid of post_install scripts. Do that in the build system.
|
|
- Get rid of UserBootscript. Start the scripts in
|
|
"~/config/settings/boot/launch" from Bootscript instead.
|
|
- Update Installer.
