"Anway, I don't think that's what Karl was referring to. I think this is about
software packages that require libraries not included with Haiku. Which
admittedly is very inconvenient for users. Package management would solve
that problem."
Well, I was referring to offering an optional package with compatibility,
legacy and native libraries included - in the meantime...
And, I'm not so sure a package manager would solve the problem. It would
probably solve the problem for packages offered in the package manager's
repository which would then grab the dependencies. What about when a user
downloads software from a website however (as is mostly done now)? Some
people prefer downloading through a web interface because it offers features
that package managers don't.
I just think it'd be very convenient to have an optional package of popular
common libraries; there can't be that many.
