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.
This is a release blocker for me. If we aren't BeOS-compatible,
there's no sense releasing at all, since that was the goal of
Haiku R1.
That only makes it a blocker for R1, not for Alpha5 which is expected
to
be buggy and incomplete.
But what is the point of the release then? It can't be about getting
more testing, because we already have tons of bugs in Trac that we can
fix first. I thought the point is to give a sign of live, and to
show-case the progress. Releasing is like saying "we got it to a point
that we feel worth showing". So I think PM and HaikuDepot should not
disappoint. And compatibility with exitsing software is also a factor.
That being said, I do think that PackageInstaller works better now
than it ever did... but there are still some tickets for it.
