I have noticed a sort of issue while installing local packages using
HaikuDepot. Well, I just double click on any HPKG file present on my disk,
and HaikuDepot will prompt me to install this package. But i noticed that
if my internet connection is busy (eg I'm downloading/uploading something
over internet on another computer on my lan - or on the pc with Haiku) it
will take a while to install local packages (and during the install
process i can see, on Haiku, a connection activity, sign of the fact that
the package management is looking for dependencies). So I guess that this
is due to the dependencies resolution (stated in the .PackageInfo file).
Well, obviously this cannot be avoided, but HaikuDepot/package management
daemon should, before check on the server for dependencies, if these deps
are already present on the disk, to avoiding the described issue.
Eg i noticed this issue while I was installing a local QupZilla package
(it relies on libqt_x86), but libqt was already present on my disk, so in
this case, is a waste of time use the connection to check for deps. I
hope to have been clear in my explanation.
