The > design is good and much of the code is good, it just needs finishing. Jordan, you know this is bullshit as well as I do. So you say there's a design.. where's the design document? Just like SMPng, OP intends to have a design doc before it really starts writing code (there is some code being worked on atm, but not much related to packaging itself). So did pkg_* have a design document, and/or does libh? I didn't think so. You can't have a chicken before an egg. Code that gets properly designed usually lasts longer (Granted, pkg_* sure outlived predictions at 7 years, but anyway) as a principle, particularly in the real world, which you purportedly do for a living. Hence, we're still in design stage because not enough people have bothered to subscribe to the lists and discuss things.
