First and foremost to give an environment wherein people can write their |
| 7 |
installation scripts using the language they are most comfortable with. |

Secondly efficiency; in the case of a pbuild it could be run from within the |
| 10 |
PM; for something like a jbuild it would use the native tools and existing |
| 11 |
libraries like ANT. For hbuild it would tie into Cabal. While these may be |
| 12 |
used already, we go from PM -> BASH -> LangX. I'm just saying give the |
| 13 |
_option_ to leave out the BASH bit when you have mature tools in langX. |

Yeah, that's a long way off; no point doing a GLEP without a working |
| 19 |
implementation to show what you mean, imo. No point dedicating coder |
| 20 |
resource to implement if it'd never get used in any case. |
