[Gambas-user] Feature Request - Package Management

[Joshua Higgins]

Sun's JDK binaries also includes the dependencies needed, and we'd need a
package for each architecture, but I'm all for the idea.
I'm assuming that it would install it somewhere like /opt, then
the dependencies would be in a separate prefix there too. The only problem
then is, say because your on Hardy, you'd possibly have two different GTK
versions and it may get hard to maintain efficiently, unless the install
script detected the distro, and automatically satisfied the dependencies,
but then you might as well make a load of .debs.

Just my thoughts
