not sure whats going on but in the last year or so adding software has gotten to be a real challenge. I recently tried to install qbitorrent from Haikudepot, all the dependencys trees are broken or there is some other issue preventing them from installing. This has been a reccuring theme for quiet sometime. does package builder adminstration and package building really require a developer ? or would a community voulenteer with buildbot knowledge be sufficient ? I understnad what the issue is, developer time to commit to repairing the update recipes and no QA testing, as always, but using software that worked on Haiku just 2-3 yrs ago is becoming a very difficult task.
