But you _are_ using a special trick: Fink. Somebody else might be using another special trick: MacPorts. Yet other people may be using their custom special tricks. MacFUSE is also installed as part of the latest Parallels product, which uses it. During WWDC, I met several people who are working on products based on MacFUSE Core. Now, think of what I said about the kernel being a single global shared namespace with kernel extensions from multiple sources "competing" for it-- competing from the standpoint of a single developer/support person: me. The more time I have to spend on issues and distractions that could be potentially avoided, the less time I have to make MacFUSE Core better. If MacFUSE Core sucks, any and all products that run atop it will suck. There is a possibility of us releasing MacFUSE Core with a built-in updater, so you install it once, in a "standard" location, and forget about it--it'll update itself when necessary. Other things that build on top of MacFUSE can be packaged/released in arbitrary ways by anybody, but they will have a standard way to check for the existence of MacFUSE Core. Even in the absence of a built-in updater, a few-line script could update things automatically. > I will switch to MacFUSE Core if I have serious trouble with > Fink's build, but so far it's done what I want. What works for you will not work for many others. This isn't about solving one person's problems--this is about doing things in a way such that everybody who develops on or uses MacFUSE benefits optimally.
