Re: [Mono-list] MacOS packages.

I agree, /Library has to be it's ultimate home, but right now, OS X is a disaster regarding anything else. Fink uses /sw/ (huh?) darwinports uses /opt/ and /opt/local/ (huh? further). I want to get everything into the Framework under /Library, but the default build process right now makes that a time consuming task. If you are talking 2-3 weeks until the next release, I'll never get it done in time. If it's 2 months, I might pull it off :-). I simply don't have the copious spare time to to it, and my day job frowns upon Open Source, so I have to work at it in my off hours :-). That said, I;m going in the direction, and Benjamin had a couple of pointers that should help quite a bit, but it's still going to take time.

Please bear in mind, that while I have a reasonable Unix comfort level, I'm by no means an expert, every flavor I've ever used treats /usr/local and /opt differently. Exacerbating that issue is that I've spent the last 10 years doing Windows development. So I'm very flexible regarding this, and the /usr/local was mostly done because that seems to be where most of the .pkg's I've installed put things. I'll adjust accordingly.

Hello,

Phase I:

        A .pkg installer that installs Mono and Mcs to /usr/local/, with a
detailed description on how to properly set up the environment to use
/usr/local/bin.  This package would use glib statically linked, to
avoid the need to also deploy glib to the users machine.

I also agree with the other poster that /usr/local should be reserved
for the local system administrator.

As I said previously, I think we should stick stuff in /Library, and
install links in /usr/bin for the programs.
