Yes, but is it going to be like the rpm/apt packaging systems, which
are fine so long as you want exactly what the builder felt like
providing, or more like bsd-ports inspired systems, which provide
enough flexibility so that people don't wind up having to build them
from scratch in order to get applications that meet their needs - and
which at the older end are much better than apt for selection and
frequency of updates?
