I meant to copy packages trees into the /stow directory.
Why copy anything into anywhere? I can't see why copying files is
needed for package installation on the Hurd. My original proposal was
that /bin and other such dirs would be constructed virtually by a
special file system handler. Instead of putting a symlink into /bin,
you just change the data from which the contents of /bin are computed.
Why not do it this way?
Yes.
** packagefs/stowfs
This would be the package manager for GNU, it would sit on /package
and then "merge things into /, i.e. /packages/*/bin becomes /bin.
Installation is done by:
tar -xzvf emacs-21.1.tgz
ln -s /packages/emacs-21.1 emacs-21.1
And deinstallation would be to simply remove /packages/emacs-21.1.
