Indeed. One of the many loose ends of HaikuDepot. What I also hate:
* Three or more packages per piece of software. They should be combined by
default, with some setting so that you can configure to install "*_devel"
and/or "_source" along with the main app.
* Some packages don't put a proper link in the Deskbar menu.
* No obvious way to launch apps after they have installed.
* Many other quirks…
No idea when I will have more time again to work on it.
Best regards,
-Stephan
