Read the post. I didn't say that Apps installed by Fink should be in /Applications. They should be in /sw/Applications, to further follow the Fink guidelines. They work fine there. > How does this work with a system that tracks your installed software in > a database? Exactly as it would in any properly administrated network computing environment. The Applications directory that Fink installes into would be owned by root or otherwise non-writable by the user. That /Applications is writable by a 'normal' OS X user is a bug, IMO. > > Now, maybe there are some open-source projects that are half-ported and > still require themselves to be in a certain place, or to be installed > wherever they were at install-time, but that means they're half-ported. I said nothing about projects that require themselves to be installed in a particular location. b.bum ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
