Currently, I'm thinking of going ahead and using SVR4 packages for Amiga UNIX despite their limitations. This format is actually relatively advanced on Solaris. There's many features present that don't *appear* to be present in the ancestor version on Amix. It would be really awesome to...

* track dependencies (woo!)
* fetch files from the internet (yeah!)
* have pre- and post-install scripts (yay!)

But it appears that NONE of those are present. Basically...

Although I've taken a sabbatical from working on Amiga UNIX stuff, I've been thinking about how to reinvent the wheel again with a custom package format. I have some experience with building RPMs and debs, and through that I have some idea how the final product should look and what it should do. I've been mulling over how to implement it. My main focus is speed since 25MHz is slow. Modern packaging systems do a lot of checks and double checks, and wrap a great deal of logic into what they do....
