Haiku’s package management

The way Haiku handles package management and its alternative approach to an immutable system" is one of those ideas I find really cool. Here's what it looks like from a desktop user's perspective - there's all the usual stuff like an app store", package updater, repositories of packages and so on.

It's all there and works well - it's easily as smooth as any desktop Linux experience. However, it's the implementation details behind the scenes that make it so interesting to me. Haiku takes a refreshingly new approach to package management.

A deep dive into Haiku's surprisingly robust and full-featured package management system.
