However there is one big question about the use of the word “depot” within

that seems to be the preference within the package kit code.

so when I submit my
preflet for use in Haiku, should it be named “Depots” or “Repositories” or
perhaps something else?
I got used to "Depots", but nothing is set in stone and I gladly defer
to the native speakers. Since the pkgman commands also refer to "repo"
it'd make sense to call it that everywhere and just keep the name of
the app HaikuDepot. There are only two strings to rename.
Feel free to review my work here:
https://github.com/Perelandra0x309/depots/tree/v1.1.0
It looks and works very well.
I'm all for accepting Brian's generous offer to include the panel into
Haiku. I feel it's best suited to live under the "Tools" menu in
HaikuDepot. Maybe as a separate panel like the Deskbar or Tracker
preferences, that don't appear in the Deskbar's Preferences menu, but
can be called by other apps.

Did you know:
If half the Haiku supporters at

made 10 searches a day, we could have a fulltime developer.
