:Yes, late in the month. Would end-of-year may be feasible for
:VFS/packaging? That's a question for the folks working on it, which may be
:better asked on, say, July 1st.
I've been thinking about packaging seriously for the last few days and
the more I think about it, the more I think we should just port Debian's
apt-get, enforce a multi-installed-version capability (e.g. for libraries),
and then focus on bringing patches into that framework.
We'll definitely not have a packaging system in the first release, but
I think having something by the end of the year is doable (and a good
goal).
