Hi,

would it be possible / feasible, that Gentoo creates and uses Frameworks for

Its possible, feasible and highly desired! Has been on my TODO list for over a year now.....

Probably just be done as an eclass with the appropriate function being called with a USE flag conditional in pkg_postinst(). Aside from shuffling the files in ${D} around to match the framework directory structure, you would also scan all shared libs with otool (1) to check that install_names are set correctly, and set them with install_name_tool(1) if they are not.

Of course this would only be needed for packages that don't support frameworks natively... for instance Python and SDL both have upstream framework build targets already.



Or am I in the wrong project alltogether? ;)


I dunno, lets see your patches for this feature and we'll go from there ;)
