If I remember right [not on a Mac right now], Gnuplot puts a drawing application in /sw/Applications, and emacs-carbon puts an "Aquatic" version of Emacs in there. I think that's the only two though. > Aside from the fact that the /sw path wouldn't be the most > sensible location for such programs, is there anything > precluding them from inclusion? There isn't any "linux > commandline and X ports only!!" policy, is there? Um, I think so, but don't quote me on that. In my opinion, I agree with you -- I think putting more general OSX targeted software out through Fink would be great. But in the opinion of the people primarily maintaining the project right now, this would be too far outside the scope of the project (though independent efforts to port things along-side the Fink framework would be okay). I can understand the reasoning, but still it would be nice if things like Chimera, Newsflash, Fire, OpenOffice, etc were Finkable. OH well. In true open source ethos, if you think it's a good idea & have the time to spend on it, you can always help get such a project going... :) -- Chris Devers [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apache / mod_perl / http://homepage.mac.com/chdevers/resume/ "More war soon.
