Is there a way for fink to install a Launchd file into /Library/ LaunchAgents for 10.4 packages?

Not yet. It would not be terribly hard however to

1) Make a version of Daemonic that uses launchd instead of startup items but is otherwise entirely compatible, and/or

2) Create a new syntax for installing launchd plist files. If there's not already a command line tool to enable/distable a launchd daemon, that would be needed as well.

Anybody who wants to work on either of these is welcome.

As a follow-up, would it be permissible to have a /sw/etc/profile.d/ foo.(c)sh file that has a line in it like

launchctl load /sw/path/to/my/package/LaunchAgent  ?

You want to scan the LaunchAgents every time you open a shell!? There must be a better way than that.
