[with my libh developper hat on]
I can't talk in the name of the binup project, since i'm not
particularly involved in his developpment, but as for the
next-generation package system and installation tools (libh), my idea of
it is that it will be more modular than a single package with a single
version number for the whole tree.
The libh package system still needs some work, but when it is ready, I
will start the packaging of /usr/src. I hope the tendency will not to
package it as a single package, and I even hope to package it as
finer-grained package than current "distributions" (bin, doc, contrib,
etc). Something more like: fileutils, binutils, gnu-binutils, openssh,
openssl, etc.
These packages will all have independant package numbers. These will
have to be maintained, somehow, and this is the main problem of the
packaging of /usr/src: it is not made for that yet. No support is
engineered in /usr/src to allow distribution and versionning of
packages.
Serial number is one thing, and it might be a good idea, but we could
also consider more "classic" version numbers for sub-trees, as
openssh-2001013109910000008 is not really a "user-friendly" package
name. :)
