I don't know if there has been a formal annoucement or if it's even
needed, but if you followed the discussions during the past months,
most if not all devs publicly discussed and agreed that Haiku needs and
will have package management. There even was a brainstorming session at
the BeGeistert, it's almost already past the design phase. Of course no
one will be forced to use it, and one will be free to unzip stuff the
old way, but at this point...
To those fears you and others might have, let's just wait to see an
actual implementation before saying it will be so bad.
