New packaging system

Luca Bruno aka Lethalman
Hello,
i was thinking of splitting packages.xml into more files, or better:
1) Have packages.xml for specifying each packages path (for example  
browser/ gtk.tar.gz, and so on)
2) Each package must have a package.xml containing its own informations
3) Use VFSHandler to handle packages, which can be directories or archives

Bye.

Sure, why not.  I agree with all of this (except that I would keep the
possibility of a centralized packages.xml both for backwards
compatibility and to ease pre-installation development).

My plan is to finish 2.3 as soon as possible and then (possibly on a new
web site!) prepare a wishlist page for 2.4.
