Howdy, as of today three groups of developers are working on the same subject : bringing free unix applications to Darwin/MacosX. IMHO there is a waste of resource here for the everyone. Because when One package gets "ported", some work it still todo to bring that piece of software from ,one project to another, but that work should be minimal (ie adapting the package format). In the meantime three diffrent person might be working on the same "port" : two person's work is wasted and could be used in porting other applications, working on other core tasks. Would it be possible to unite all those efforts ? I would like to have a *unique* dtabase containing the name of the software being ported and which group is porting the software. When a application is ported by a group and works correctly then a mail is sent to the other groups, mail which might be catched up by a robot and that would change the packaging format to the one used by the project.
Do you think this would be doable ? If so are the different parties interested ? Darwin should be like FreeBSD and looks like linux because of those different projetcs. We should unite now , when it's easier to do then later when it will be harder to unite those porting efforts. [sorry for the cross-post, I suggest using darwinports for the follow-ups] Ludo -- http://islande.hirlimann.net ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
