I'm undecided what method is the best: .pkg, Haiku-style packages, or LibPak packages.Has anything been decided yet with respect to Haiku installer packages?I recall that a new format was going to be developed to replace the SoftwareValet installer package format. It would consist of an archive(zip for example) which holds both the files and a recipe for installingthem.
For now Haiku's Optional Package format (zip archive with absolute paths plus description file) would be most convenient, i.e. would allow to pre-populate our Haiku images with it.
