Hello, There are some questions about a packagemanager. I would like to say I'm busy experimenting with Trip, which is based on the use of unionfs and a chrooted environment to install packages.
There is a hint about it, it's a better approach then the one PACO has IMHO. With Trip you create a sort of cache between the real (=target) filesystem and the buildenvironment. Files installed are not installed directly on the targetfilesystem, but reside on a filesystem of your choice. With a single command you can "sync" the cache and let all files/directories installed on the target filesystem. It's possible to keep track of every file installed, and in combination with important information about the package you're installing (version, name etc) you're able to store information about installed packages and their files. The writer of the hint, Pierre Hebert is writing a new version at the moment.
