And sure enough, the input server uses AddOnMonitorHandler whose
AddAddOnDirectories() simply ignores non-existing directories. So unless
one already has a package in the respective installation location that
provides the directory for an add-on kind when the input server is
started, node monitoring for that add-on kind in that installation
locaiton won't work.

to update the depot, and fails with a General System Error.]
You can manually copy your package to ~/config/package to install without
using HaikuDepot. This should work even when offline, as long as it
doesn't need to download any dependencies, of course.
If a repository files of all configured repositories is cached already,
that might work. I'm not entirely sure, though. If a repository file is
missing, however, I don't think it will work.
