We still have the "cctools" virtual package. Perhaps the xcode virtual package check could be >> modified to just look at the command-line tools.

Since historically we used "xcode" to indicate the aggregate version of all of the command-line tools put out with an Xcode release, I propose using "xcode" for the version of the command-line tools, and "xcode.app" for the version of Xcode.app. "xcode" and "xcode.app" have the same version/revision for Xcodes earlier than 4.3. For 4.3 and later, we can grab the version information from the pkgutil database: $ pkgutil --pkg-info com.apple.pkg.DeveloperToolsCLI package-id: com.apple.pkg.DeveloperToolsCLI version: 4.3.0.0.1.1249367152 volume: / location: / install-time: 1332610682 groups: com.apple.FindSystemFiles.pkg-group com.apple.DevToolsBoth.pkg-group com.apple.DevToolsNonRelocatableShared.pkg-group This translates, in my implementation, into: (10.6/Xcode 3.2.6) Package: xcode Status: install ok installed Version: 3.2.6-1 homepage: http://www.finkproject.org/faq/usage-general.php#virtpackage description: [virtual package representing the developer tools] Package: xcode.app Status: install ok installed Version: 3.2.6-1 homepage: http://www.finkproject.org/faq/usage-general.php#virtpackage description: [virtual package representing Xcode] (10.7/Xcode 4.3.2/"Late March 2012" CLI Tools) Package: xcode Status: install ok installed Version: 4.3.0.0.1-1249367152 homepage: http://www.finkproject.org/faq/usage-general.php#virtpackage description: [virtual package representing the developer tools] Package: xcode.app Status: install ok installed Version: 4.3.2-1 homepage: http://www.finkproject.org/faq/usage-general.php#virtpackage description: [virtual package representing Xcode] -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison http://finkakh.wordpress.com/2012/02/21/got-job/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
