I do not quite understand why. Please do not misunderstand me, I am not completely opposed, I just do not get why. We are good at something, which is packaging Unix based applications. There are enough applications out there which have not been packaged yet and we are having trouble already keeping up. I just fear that introducing .app into the whole system complicates matters to the worse.
Well, there are many nice wrappers for opensource programs that could be a welcome addition to fink, also some projects have os x code in them itself. What is the difference in an opensource Cocoa app or an x11 one? just a different windowserver. Also it would be possible for the apps to use fink's libs, and not have to duplicate everything in each app bundle, which is the point of shared libs in the first place. I'd love to see more stuff, but I do feel we should be pretty selective about it, at least at first. As for duplicating everyting that kde apps need to run, well, i'd much rather not :)
