The last email was a bit long. I'll try my best to make this short ;) You have an excellent package database system. This the core of any installation method. However, what is needed is a flexible binary package format.
When it comes to binaries, you can't get much more flexible than binaries in an archive. This is the same principal you apply to Compile, where you simply use the source code in an archive. Using this principal, you download package information, download the binaries from third-party website and add it to the system. This is exactly what Zero Install does. Sidenote: Is it be possible to use debs and RPMs with your distribution and integrate it into your database? If so, this leaves you unparalleled flexibility and incentive for people to install and use your distribution. Just a thought. Does anyone think this is a good idea? If not, and I'm sure there are probably good reasons why not, would someone please explain them to me.
