Thank you, Ingo. So the Wiki page should be updated :-)
And for the question of non-packaged apps which need to use /common
(and subdirectories) since some of these are removed/changed in the PM
branch (eg "common/share" and "common/etc" and also for the read only
in "/common")? This could be resolved by making a hpkg (eg for the QT
framework) but how, for old apps on Haikuware?
I have seen, on Haikuware, that there are some apps which insert stuff
under /common.
