I've read that someday the package system will get rid of these
post_install scripts,

> That is not what the TODO item means. It refers to the post_install
scripts that the Haiku build system installs ("default_deskbar_items.sh"
and "add_catalog_entry_attributes.sh"). Those tasks can be performed by
the build system and shouldn't use post_install scripts at all.

Sorry, i misunderstood, since also the "post_install" scripts are present
in packages building.
> I don't really see what this has to do with packages at all. When
creating/customizing the image for the customer, you can just copy the
settings and other data, create desktop symlinks, etc. at your heart's
desire. If you really need to provide you customization via a package (for
whatever reason) you can use the post_install script mechanism (it won't
go away anytime soon, respectively will only be replaced by an at least
equally powerful mechanism).
And in facts is what I do :-)
The reason is that HPKG files (with post_install scripts) are able to
provide, in a simple way, updates or changes in needed configuration.
"Just install this file and everything will be as you currently needs".
Thank you for your reply.
