Comment:
The user can already install packages in /boot/home/config/packages
(they'll appear in /boot/home/config/apps). I'm not up-to-date what the
current state of HaikuDepot is in this respect; the feature may yet be
missing. The command line `pkgman` does support installing in home (option
'-H').
That being said, the old method of updating your system by replacing the
/boot/system directory will be replaced by a package management assisted
one -- i.e. you will just tell the package manager to update the system
and it will replace just the packages, global configuration files (as
needed), etc. User installed packages -- if they come from a configured
repository -- will be updated as well.
