if you have a system to keep the system clean with uninstall scripts there's
no problem. you can have binaries in a path, libs in another and so on.
for the user any package must create an entry in the haiku menu. it's
transparent for the user.
you don't have to be root, we could use something like sudo, it lets you
customize privileges (allow only execute the package manger for a
determinated group).
always user installations would be possible under ~/config. should be an
option when you install a .pkg
also is important all apps to store config and tmp files in a determinated
path to change.
has haiku something similar to LSB (linux standard base) or LFH (linux file
hierarchy)?
