The idea has been discussed before, years ago in fact. Apparently the "benefit" is not so obvious to others as to you. It is after all just a particular way to store headers and dynamic libraries with less compatibility to other Unix systems and more difficult version management than the traditional organization in include and lib directories. Anyway, there is already at least one Fink package that uses some variant of the framework system: aquaterm. It uses /sw/Library/Frameworks/AquaTerm.framework/ to store its library, and it has /sw/lib/libaquaterm.1.0.0.dylib as a symlink to /sw/Library/Frameworks/AquaTerm.framework/Versions/A/AquaTerm. In this way it can be used both by traditional Unix linkers and by NextStep-specific build systems. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
