Litlle question between, why yet another packaging system? There is now gentoo, rpm, deb and now opkg? Are there so many atari users out there, that we can afford four different package systems?
This is about personal taste, and in the end the user takes the best choice for him.
Also the developer takes what he finds to be the best for him...If both tastes meet each other, than the seed for something successfull is planted.
