What about a package manager framework that handed off actual package
management to NSBundles? Have code bundles for RPM, dpkg, BSD pkg
tools, etc. Each bundle could have code to query, install, remove,
upgrade, check for updates, etc., specific to that platform. They
could even have code for creating native packages based on GNUstep
makefiles from source. (Possibly after extending gnustep-make.)
Maybe this is a bit ambitious but it seems to me a good idea to take
advantage of the features GNUstep offers, namely NSBundle and GNUstep
make, to produce something that might even work well with the rest of
the system, i.e. in the future foreseeing a distro that could upgrade
or install bash or gcc or other unrelated programs using all GNUstep
APIs.
