Hi,
I've been working on a program to edit Fink Info files. It's nowhere
near complete but it's stable enough if anyone wants to look at the
code and contribute to or take over the development. It has taken me a
long time to get this far, although I have some experience working in C
I have none with Objective C. I have very limited time to work on this
project right now so I'm hoping for someone with ObjC experience to
help.
So far I have taken the source for Apple's TextEdit and stripped out
all the code for RTF, HTML etc, then modified the document window in
Interface Builder to display some of the fields required for a Fink
Info file. The fields are not connected to anything, so really it is
just a stripped-down TextEdit app which can only edit plain text files
(must have an .info filename suffix) and with a funny looking edit
window.
I took this approach because I felt some features in TextEdit would be
useful and I didn't want to have to design them from scratch, features
like spellchecking, multiple document windows, Find, Open Recent items,
Preferences window, printing and About window.
Email me if you are interested in contributing to or taking over this
project, or even just want to see the source. Maybe someone will have
time to start up a SourceForge project for it.
Ideas that would be nice to have: (in addition to getting the program
working ;))
Read a list of currently recognized info-fields from fink itself,
perhaps this Camelbones Jeremy mentioned earlier would help.
