This will be managed by simply extending mkfs to build “release packaged” disk images, the regular package manager will be included in \/DOS<\/em> but not overly relied on by the system itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This works in well with the PATH<\/em> system allowing users to look up programs from the current drive or from their BOOT:<\/em> or equivalent drive. E.g. a possible PATH<\/em> setting would be “\/DOS;BOOT:\/DOS” allowing lookup of system programs from the current drive’s installation first when available or otherwise from the BOOT:<\/em> drive. A fully packaged approach may need a more complicated PATH<\/em> instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This also allows for easy packaging in the future as any new large components can easily be broken off into subdirectories first and then packaged separately whenever it makes sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So that will probably be the compromise used for later 1.x releases rather than the full packaging approach or the “just chuck the files in” approach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Worst Case Bunch of files thrown into BOOT:\/ or RD0:\/ with minimal documentation (current scenario as of 1.0.1).
