Hello,
I created this thread to keep dev discussion away from all the user stuff.

First of all we need to consider the structure of the libraries. tar.bz2 or a repo with debs?

User qwazix suggested a repository with libs and apps.

My arguments:

For:
1. Apt-get handles deps, auto-installs it: no mess with creating a client
2. Easy removing

Against:
1. You need to mess with the whole depends stuff, it requires much work. You need to add meecolay pkgs to pre-deps and there's a bit mess out there, it's still developed
2. Repo'll be removed after launching HAM, adding n' removing repo only install time, not to require additional root, will slow down any other repos update
3. Duplicate of apps, developers could use DEBIAN/meecolay instead to provide install instructions for meecolay.
4. essential libs if edited unproperly may brick the n900 (if u use shlibs or sth)

What do you think about it?
