Wouldn’t it be better to work on the half finished haiku packet manager?

3

Can port only the graphical interface to haiku packet manager!

4

The licensing looks bad for having using it officially in any way. Better to start on a frontend from scratch or find a better candidate.

5

Is possible to use the concepts in the frontend.

6

i can only see things going very wrong by using something made by oracle

7

Take what is good, as experience with the user to generate an interface from scratch.
