i love gentoo :DDD
but i don't belive that emerge will be what we are searching...because is necessary a more windows way to do things...it needs to work using windows standard
for this, in previous posts i've mentioned MSI, but i don't know well how it works
however the idea to use an installer is more interesting because all can be managed using windows registry and xml can be used only to store (on servers) a tree of packages
simply, fast and efficent
if you need to compile...there aren't problem...using an installer engine the package manager project can supply 2 templates...one used for binaries and one used for sources, and in this template can be "prepare" some code that will be only to be modified
there are packages like nullsoft installer and innosetup that are very interesting
- User starts PM (Package Manager)
- PM downloads the last xml tree
- User selects a package to install
- PM get mirror list and try to download it
- After download, PM will simply start installer
- After install PM will reload installed packages from registry
this can be a very simply and flexible way to do all...because using standard templates as base all will work with package manager, using softwares like innosetup or nullsoft installer (NSI) you can code all that you will need...and personalize your setup with shots and other, and you can use these packages without package manager
however there are many ways to do a work like this
