10 Amen. If we start really big here, we're just going to end up talking
11 about this for months and never get anything done. Perhaps we could
12 agree to work on getting packages to install in a prefix firstly and
13 develop a procedure for making that happen. I see the rest of the
14 issues in this thread as separate, even though they are related.

21 Exactly. Since the solution to this problem seems to be the crux of
22 the discussion here, perhaps we could split this thread and continue
23 the discussion about alternatives to package.provided in a new thread
24 while working out a procedure for installing to a prefix simultaneously.
