Re: OOC Package Tool: Repositories

[Michael Griebling <mgriebling@inspired.to>]

This is all sounds nifty.  I'm still a bit fuzzy about the
uses of these repositories.  It's clear they would be used
to hold object, modules, symbol files, etc.  Would these
repositories replace the existing libraries?  I take it they
could also be used for distributing source and code.  Would
they also automatically be able to install a program
with files scattered throughout a system?  I'd help out
with something like this.

It also seems that we are getting closer to defining a loadable
system of modules (ala the Oberon systems).  Is this something
that has been envisioned for these repositories?  If so, this
is something worthwhile which I wouldn't mind helping out
on.
