Fine by me, as long as we stick to open source applications ONLY. The
No one ever suggested anything else.
objection about 'moving apps around' never did make sense to me, i think a more important objection is fink losing focus.
I believe we have one or two command line apps in fink which are binary.
One of them is aquaterm that installs an app into /sw/Applications. I never liked the fact that this is a binary installation, even when you do "fink install". But I think the main reason for this is precisely that the building of apps with Fink packages was frowned upon. A binary installation was considered the lesser evil, which I always found perverse. BTW, I don't think anyone ever reported problems with AquaTerm.app living in /sw/Applications. Nobody complained about the restriction of their freedom to move apps around at will.
