1. pkg_install does everything that auto package does, but on a system-
wide basis I want to incorporate as little of pkg_install as is
possible, so that autopackage does most of the work.
2. I want to use the .XPI packaging format, from xpinstall, but I
only require xpinstall to incorporate autopackage and pkg_install into
the XULrunner framework.
3. I like the idea of the autopackage executables. I really thought
that it was a shame that it wasn't a system-wide pkg_manager. but I
also need to tie this into my update_engine, which means that
xpinstall is perfect.
So now that you can understand where I'm coming from, I am writing in
order to ask if you would be willing to help me. You don't actually
need to do anything but give me advise upon where I am going wrong.
If that's okay for you then I would hope that you get in touch.
