[Helidelinux-devel] Package manager

[Hui Z. <zh...@wa...>]

I have no experience with package managers. My first linux system is
redhat, installed and never used because I don't know how it was
managed. Then I tried linux from scratch,  and now that's the only
thing I know how to work with.

I am thinking the automated lfsbuilder may finally develop into a
package manager also.

What is generally expected for a package manager?

The minimum I believe is just install and uninstall.

I would like to see a picture how it works: Given the package manager
name PKG, the basic function would be:

PKG -i name
PKG -u name

maybe
 PKG -q name (querying the package info)

 What else? (not limited to minimal, what fancy feature are good to
 have?)
