Hi, I have read several times that some of you were using DESTDIR and recording the installed files for being able to uninstall packages. I recently realized that what I have called `package management' in jhalfs could be used for that purpose: basically it automates the generation of scriptlets with DESTDIR install from the book instructions. Then the packaging and installation is made through a function that the user has to write. I think this function could be used for recording the installed files.
Presently, there are also instructions for installing the package manager itself, which of course is not needed in that case. With a slight change of jhalfs, the package manager installation can be skipped, while still generating DESTDIR instructions. So, I am asking whether some of you would be interested in such a possibility, in which case I would write an example packInstall function, and perform the said modification. If nobody is interested, I would not do it, because I need some input about the way to record the file lists. Maybe some addition to 'creating directories' or 'create files' could be needed for example, which is also possible.
