Hello Paul,

I'd like to know more about the packaging system. It seems very interesting, and useful. What paths does it use? Does it create bat files? Does it have online repositories? Something like apt, pacman, yum to install/remove packages would be very handy, combined with online repos. I know about fdimples and I like it very much but it's GUI only AFAIK and only works with a small set of packages from the livecd iso.

Hi... was aware of the files on Delorie website.

Was more asking for Jerome to create the directory on Gitlab, so that I can make a package with your suggested file.

I am unsure if autoconf, and automake are used enough to justify having packages for them too.
For people wanting to understand how it works, I like the diagram on:
https://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/autotools/index.html

Like they show in the diagram... most project will have already made configure script and Makefile.in. So that it mostly usefull for people doing projects to be used on Unix like OS. So I tend to think it is not necessary to have autoconf and automake packages for FreeDOS.

But I do not totally exclude the idea.

Still working on a Perl script to generate FreeDOS packages from zip files dowloaded from Gitlab FreeDOS's projects.
