It will happen as soon as someone does it. :D I don't think
anyone objects to the idea, right?
well, like always - i do :-)
i agree with dmotd, that such a thing has to be thought through
_very_ carefully. it's easy to hack together something dirty.
e.g. cygwins package management system is just something i would
never ever like to encounter again.
but honestly: personally as a debian user (being nurtured with apt)
i am not a great friend of all these concurrent packaging systems;
e.g. python-eggs/buildouts do cause me a lot of headache, because
they don't integrate into apt (or any other concurrent package-
manager, i guess) at all. i don't want to get Pd into the same
hell....
Well, not everyone in the world uses Debian.... whether or not they
should is a different question. Things like CPAN quite possibly
predate debian, since we would be starting post-Debian, we could just
use Debian packages internally for Pd.
