Subject: Re: [Fink-users] AquaTerm and its oddities

Many carbon apps use old-style resource forks that are still supported by OS X, but not by tar.

Seems as though fink's policy is to not support resource forks, and I personally think that's a good idea. Also to note, that fink uses non-resource-fork compatible tools to download all the sources and binaries, so it's no big surprise that they're not there.

I got similar explanations from Alwyn and Martin as to whether AquaTerm has resource fork or not. Now, I tarred /sw/Applications and untarred it to see if the explanations are right. And the result is ... Yes, they are right!
