Re: [Fink-devel] .apps in fink

[Kyle Moffett]

At the moment, there are very few .apps in Fink. I am not strongly opinionated on either side of the issue of adding new applications to Fink, but I have an idea for the existing, necessary, ones. In my opinion, the .apps (Such as XDarwin and AquaTerm) that are already in Fink should be put in /sw/Applications, and owned by root. Then the installscripts should create a Carbon Alias in /Applications with normal permissions if something by that name does not exist. Then the app (link) could be copied or moved, or the original app could be copied. This complies with existing ideas:
1) Don't install stuff outside of /sw
2) Keep the user from accidentally deleting stuff (owned by root)
3) Don't let dpkg get confused (Users cannot move stuff accidentally)

Cheers,
Kyle Moffett
