They have been using dpkg to install Darwin (as in standalone Darwin, without OSX) all the time. If you have the Darwin CD or downloaded Darwin-1.4.1 (very outdated now, but still the latest available), you have most of the system in the form of *.debs, like /Darwin/System/Installation/packages/zsh_3.0.8-28_powerpc-apple-darwin.deb or even /Darwin/System/Installation/unsupported/xfree86_4.1.0_powerpc-apple-darwin.deb I count 276 such powerpc-apple-darwin.debs in my Darwin tree. Darwin has also the full set of dpkg binaries: % ls /Volumes/Software/Darwin/usr/bin/dpkg* /Volumes/Software/Darwin/usr/bin/dpkg /Volumes/Software/Darwin/usr/bin/dpkg-buildpackage /Volumes/Software/Darwin/usr/bin/dpkg-deb /Volumes/Software/Darwin/usr/bin/dpkg-distaddfile /Volumes/Software/Darwin/usr/bin/dpkg-genchanges /Volumes/Software/Darwin/usr/bin/dpkg-gencontrol /Volumes/Software/Darwin/usr/bin/dpkg-name /Volumes/Software/Darwin/usr/bin/dpkg-parsechangelog /Volumes/Software/Darwin/usr/bin/dpkg-scanpackages /Volumes/Software/Darwin/usr/bin/dpkg-shlibdeps /Volumes/Software/Darwin/usr/bin/dpkg-source /Volumes/Software/Darwin/usr/bin/dpkg-split -- Martin _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
