Using aliases is not Mac-like. Giving users the illusion of moving their apps isn't good enough. Besides, at this point, anyone using Fink isn't going to be stopped by having the item in a hidden directory. (Right-click > Show Original ends that search).
Using "shortcuts" is not mac-like. Aliases are much more powerful and were invented by Apple, couldnt get more mac-like. :)

If we want to support moving apps, we have no choice. Fink is based on dpkg which requires its files stay in one place.
Why is everyone hung up on MOVING the stupid apps???? Fink does *not* need to support moving of the apps. If the user wants to 'move' the apps, they can create copies or links. Done deal.

I agree with you, Bill. I am trying to satisfy the other people. :) I think "don't do that, idiot" is sufficient.
