does anyone else think it would be a good idea to add a flag to the packages
on the raa indicating whether it can be installed using raainstall? is this a
useful idea? i’m considering updating my dbi installation and install plruby
with raainstall, but i don’t know if they work with it.

I don’t see the point really. You can easily try it and see whether a
given package installs successfully with raainstall, and if it
doesn’t, try to work out why and provide feedback to the package
maintainer or the raainstall developers as apt.

thanks Gavin,
well, that’s what i’m worried about. i don’t want a bouched(sp) install from
which i have to go figure out what was put were and remove it. although i
imagine in most cases that wouldn’t be too hard.

I wonder if having a flag in RAA would work as an encouragement to
developers to make their packages raa-install compatible.
Also it’s not always possible to convince maintainers to do the steps
necessary to make their packages compatible, so I think there is value
to being able to flag it.
I would like to see it.
