IMHO such a table should be kept in a machine readable form on a project database server so that an Installer.app can access it and find out what is new and which dependencies are there. Unfortunately, there is no single package manager out there for e.g. GNU/Linux, MacOS X and FreeBSD. Each distribution has its own one - and is more or less defined by the package manager... apt, ipkg, fink, macports, open embedded just to name some. A straightforward way would be to provide package definitions to all those distributions... But defining and maintaining the three most important ones is very difficult. So, the solution must be independent of the OS distribution but generic to GNUstep. ... volunteers welcome for an Installer.app plus a database. -- hns _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
