Hi,
some time ago there was a lengthy thread about the road ahead, with
some
interesting discussion about a hopefully better integration of
Gentoo and
OSX. In some unrelated, but perhaps nevertheless interesting events I
stumbled across a couple of interesting topic which perhaps could
help in
achieving such better integration.
JUst FYI, a better integration of Gentoo into Aqua/OSX starts at least
that I could use some kind of GUI, instead of having to resort to the
command line ;)
A good starting point would be the following link
http://livingcode.blogspot.com/2004_11_01_livingcode_archive.html
The idea is to provide GUI frontends to Gentoo applications using
Python
bindings to AppKit/Cocoa, and the use of Renaissance, a declarative
GUI
approach implemented as part of the GNUstep project
(http://www.gnustep.org)
Where 'Gentoo applications' == the portage UI itself ? Or are you
talking about actually wrapping arbitrary packages in a GUI?
The former, should definitely wait until portage 3 (saviour) is here,
as that will be the first portage to actually have an API.
The latter, is a completely crazy idea, but if you think you can pull
it off, more power to ya ;)
Sorry, I guess I don't understand the goal completely...
