A tour of package management on Haiku |
 |
The Haiku project does not attract the same level of attention as its open source peers in the Linux and BSD communities. However, Haiku offers a lot of polished and modern features on a platform that is remarkably responsive. One rarely talked about feature of Haiku is its package management system. Mark Dastmalchi-Round takes us on a tour of Haiku package management, exploring what makes the lightweight operating system interesting and robust. "The way Haiku handles package management and its alternative approach to an “immutable system” is one of those ideas I find really cool. Here's what it looks like from a desktop user's perspective - there's all the usual stuff like an 'app store', package updater, repositories of packages and so on. It's all there and works well - it's easily as smooth as any desktop Linux experience. However, it's the implementation details behind the scenes that make it so interesting to me. Haiku takes a refreshingly new approach to package management." |
