#5785: Show optional packages non-functional ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: mmadia | Owner: korli Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Applications/Installer | Version: R1/Development Keywords: | Blockedby: Platform: All | Blocking: ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Comment(by stippi): Yes, Installer CopyEngine just unzips everything in _packages_. Programmer laziness detected. I've made sure that all packages extract to the same destination, i.e. /boot and hard-coded this in Installer. If we want to enable the user selection process of which packages get installed, we need to work on Installer. I would say that packages which depend on other packages are left out of the optional ones at all (i.e. get installer regardless and are not displayed as optional). The distinction could be the presence of certain attributes. I could probably look into all this starting next week. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/5785#comment:4> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
