The only reason that I even mentioned it was for certain edge cases
which even I find confusing (and have run into on occasion). Let's say
you have a package that installs things in multiple locations, none of
which go under /boot/apps and have a fixed location (such as ~/config/
lib). It would make no sense whatsoever to list a choice of folders or
even mention a folder at all. Showing any folder would not and could
not accurately describe where things were going. *shrug*
Just a quick note for Łukasz:
I think that our installer should be able to recognize such "bad"
packages and not allow for selecting a target folder (but only a
volume).
About showing the file list, I still disagree. If we can work around
bad packages automatically we don't need to inspect them. Nobody does
this under Windows, so why should we?
