Hello;
I would like to clarify my understanding of the repositories a wee bit
so that I can better understand if and how third-party repositories (eg;
[2]) fit into the Haiku package system.
At the top of HaikuDepot desktop application, there is a "Depot"
drop-down. When you choose "HaikuPorts" this is presumably showing
material from the repositories configured on HDS [1] at present. There
is a repository there for each of the following architectures;
* x86_64
* x86_gcc2
* x86
Do these together form a "Depot"? If so, would it be a good idea to
model a Depot in HDS where a Depot may consist of a number of
Repositories? In this way, the Depot could be indicated in API vended
from HDS in order that the user can specify the Depot they would like to
pull data from?
Is that making any sense?
cheers.
