What are the plans with regards to show-casing PM with this release?
Aren't there multiple issues left that we wanted addressed when we
last discussed the release back in 2013? One of them was .pkg
breakage, which I worked on a bit, but there are open tickets for
specific packages.
About pkg preakage: I think that it is possible to mount SoftwareValet
package like Haiku package solving compatability issues. If
SoftwareValet package format is not suitable for runtime reading or
writing new file system driver is too hard, SoftwareValet package can be
just converted to Haiku package.
To solve path compatability issues file system virtualisation can be
also used. This means that for some applications (it can be detected by
ABI version) will be provided virtual files and directories that are
impossible to distinguish from real ones. It can be provided by by
special wrapper file system drivers.
