Okay, that would be good. Currently the only way into Haiku Depot is via
HaikuPorts, which isn't suitable for all software (such as commercial
programs where source isn't available). Having functionality like BeBits /
Haikuware would answer my worries about developers being able to update
repositories.

So long as there is a web interface that has the screen shots and
translated text, then good old wget will work for archival use. And people
can trade around .hpkgs without having to see the metadata, so I'll have to
agree that it is not very important (though if metadata was included in
.hpkgs, you'd be able to see screen shots and translated text in Haiku
Depot for installed apps even without an Internet connection).
