TiltOS is an operating system based on the Haiku OS. It has not been released yet!

TiltOS provides a packages repository which is also available for HaikuOS. It is called "TiltOS for Haiku".

The packages repository was created using box packaging system.

Box was developed for Pingwinek project, where it is responsible for creation and update of over 2500 linux packages by single developer. Box allows to create a package fast and easy, by exploring common patterns packages are based on.
For example if a package uses one of standard numbering patterns, the package will be created with a single command and everything will be done automatically - e.g. downloading, package description, compilation, dependency calculations. Whats more, if a new version of this package will be put onto the server in the future, a robot will notice that and update the package in the repository.

From additional features, box automatically builds box-not-found database, which will help you to find packages that contain specific executables (integration with shell), man pages (integration with man), or header files (integration with gcc). So if you will compile a file and some header will be missing, during compilation message pointing to the proper package will be shown. This database has not been fully integrated in TiltOS yet.

Box was ported to Haiku, and now allows to build packages for Haiku operating system.
