Okay, I'll check into more a bit later.
As a package manager, where is the description of packages? How is
anyone to know what webdesign is and what it does other than by just
looking at the package name and perhaps trying to google it?
The description is available, but not easy accessible in fppkg. We
should add some sort of webpage with the available packages and more
information on those.
The first google result for "fpc webdesign package" leads to a copy of
a mailing list question asking what the package does. After a bit more
googling it would seem that the OP is the author of the package.
To be of any value IMO, a package manager it ought to provide brief of
descriptions next to package names, otherwise people will have no idea
what they are looking at.
Those are packages that we are using at my work.
I had to guess at the above and might be wrong. The only reason I
picked those packages is because they are only one which show up when
libs isn't configured they way fppkg expects.
I had to start with *some* packages. I think that only lnet is of a real
value, maybe I should remove the others. We should work on a decent list
of packages. Maybe add 'libmicrohttpd', 'googleapi' and the new
IPC-package...
