* See #12917 for details. * Squashed to one commit to make revert easy if we run into any issues. * pkgman is now pre-attached to the 'current' repo version within nightly images so they can be updated by default. * This shouldn't impact us keeping older sets of package versions by commit hash for building older hrevs. * There are XXX stubs with "Kill me". These will need to be dropped after users are given sufficent time to upgrade. We're dropping a previously required field (url) so making this a slowish roll out. * Makes the repos a lot less restrictive which should help PM package building automation be a bit easier. * Once this stuff smooths out, we'll add UUID's to the repo definitions for duplicate repo detection.
Haiku

Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.
Goals
- Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
- Clean, clear, concise code.
- Unified desktop environment.
Trying Haiku
Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.
Compiling Haiku
See ReadMe.Compiling.
