I am not sure that full-fledged package manager is a good GSoC project.
This is rather thesis topic because you cannot start coding right away.

You need to think about how to handle things such as multiple versions of
the same package or approach to software that does its own packaging (for
example, Ruby and its gems). Plus plenty of details regarding atomicity of
updates, rollbacking or the organization of the package database.

I think this would deserve some more discussions here on the ML. But if you
have something ready, go ahead :-).

that accompanied Martin's thesis but AFAIK it does not have a simple way to
express more complex things, such as: "type ls and verify words app, srv
and src are in the output". That is, something that could run QEMU, capture
its screen, OCR-it and then check it. Another point is in making this
easily deployable in Jenkins or similar tool.

One more thing came to my mind. It would be nice to have more "first-patch"
tickets there [1]. If you know about something simple and reasonable, do
not hesitate to create such ticket ;-).

@JJ: you are listed as the owner of most of these tickets probably because
you are the default owner for libc. Would you mind if I orphan these?
