[Soc-2017-dev] Daily Report - Jul 25 - Package Manager

[Ellwood Zwovic]

Today I mostly did code cleanup; I consolidated all the package/file 
manipulation code into a subpackage (bpkg). I also started making a demo 
video, but I realized I'll have to edit it and add annotations to 
explain what is going on, as I don't readily have a way to record sound.

I also talked with meta-androcto in IRC regarding filesystem layout for 
addons. It's clear that control over addon organization is desired by 
users with large addon collections, for example to keep paid addons 
separate. Exactly how to approach this without disrupting UX of normal 
users is a matter of some debate, but the approach we settled on for now 
is to allow the addon directory to be restructured manually by the user. 
This means doing recursive addon discovery from the package manager, and 
ensuring updates to addon packages are installed in the same place as 
the previous version.

TODO for tomorrow:

Finish demo video
Add undo to uninstall
Make "install" and "uninstall" handle multiple versions, make "update" 
uninstall old versions.
Add enabling/disabling to interface.
