Well, at least the less competent like me would greatly appreciate this! I vaguely recall using apt back in my NetBSD experimentation many years ago. MacPorts seems to be the more commonly used tool for installing Unix/Linux software and does not use apt. The Fink project does use apt and dpkg; I had used Fink for a while years ago and now cannot remember why I switched to MacPorts. As I recall, both create their own file system at the root level (/opt in the case of MacPorts, something else in the case of Fink) rather than writing into /usr/local in order to make removal very simple- just delete the application and the /opt directory and it's gone. BTW, the end result appears very Mac-GUI-like already, except that the Application menu within the app is titled Python instead of Frescobaldi. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
