Hello, Congrats on the package system!! I think it is a great idea.
Just some comments: (1) About the files to be put, I guess that the package system would not, for the moment, try to download from a site outside ibiblio itself, so the binary and source files could be simply unix links to the actual files in the freedos repository (you can even create them with an FTP client). (2) I think there should be some way of categorising, or at least, the user should be prompted. For if I have the mini distribution without sources, I wouldn't want everything from the full distribution with sources. Actually, is there any different behaviour with "new" files than with "updated" files? (3) I guess that the system does have some "local" DB to compare to the remote DB and see what is to be downloaded. Is this local DB XML or LSM? Thanks again!
