However, what I have found is that if you install the additional prerequisites for those three programs along with what ArcaOS already installs, this covers most programs out there. Maybe add Aspell to the list also. So add approx. 10 more components and most software will work without further effort.

While that may be true, it does require more work to package all of it, and it all needs to be tested, to be sure that it doesn't break something else.

OK, I have one suggestion which does not break anything. Add the eCSoft/2 home web site to Web sites under the Network\Web sites\OS/2 software and development folder. This site is a life saver for it contains everything one may be looking for and the wherefore to get it working properly. This site and OS/2 World are two indispensable web sites.

I have subscriptions for AOS and the OS/2-eCS drivers. Based on your help I could add both repositories to ANPM. However the FF45.rpm will not be displayed. The repository for AOS is empty and the one for the driver subscription shows some packages which are not displayed in the release repository. So I assume I did it the right way to add both repositories.
I'd like to ask you where did you see the FF45.rpm?

My subscription expired, so I haven't seen the .rpm. I assumed that it must be in one of the repositories that require authentication: arcanoae-arcaos or arcanoae-sub. I see 9 items in arcanoae-sub and nothing in arcanoae-arcaos. Therefore I thought that with subscription, one sees more items.
I seem to remember that people (distributers) wrote about the .rpm. Those texts may be published too early. So, either that explains why people are upset about the unavailabilty of the .rpm or you have an access problem. I would like to know which one applies here.
Dave Yeo:
IIRC, it is/was in arcanoae-exp. Not sure who has access to that.
Arca Noae paid for the rpm, which is why it is not broadly available, especially since they weren't happy with the port and didn't include it in ArcaOS.
Ideally I should be packaging my builds as RPMs, just haven't been motivated to learn how, as well as Mozilla apps likely needing a complex recipe to package.

Hi Dave
No big issue for me. I use your "firefox-45.9.0.en-US.os2-i686-Sua2.zip" and it runs quite well. Thanks a lot for this build.
Greetings from Potsdam/Germany,
Mike
