- Package version
- Package build configuration
- host_os, host_os_version, host_arch, host_compiler
- target_os, target_os_version, target_arch, target_compiler
- other features (NoUseGoldLinker, Static, Release, NoWidgets, ...)
- Dependencies

- List installed packages
- Update selected packages
- Remove selected packages
- List & inspect available packages, should provide information (meta):
- Multi-platform (running the CLI/Installer)
- Linux x86_64
- Windows x86/x86_64
- macOSĀ x86_64
- Possibility to control where selected packages are installed
- White space in install tree is not allowed
- Define default install location
- Control scripting/component scripting per package
- Write/read settings files
- Run system commands
- Create desktop shortcuts
- Access to information about other packages
- Catch events onInstallationStarted, onInstallationEnded
- Proxy handling
- Add custom package repositories, eg. market place or self built packages
- Customizable UI
- Headless installation/update
- Possibility to run program after installation (eg. launch QtCreator)
- Sending custom messages to server
- Hide certain packages in UI (current Virtual component)
- Force install of components
It should be possible to customize the UI, how the packages are shown to user:
- some licenses/products may have priority over others -> prioritize the visibility
- other possible "schemes"
