(And I have to admit I haven't understood why Aliases should be preferred here... a command-line-oriented program like Fink will have an easier time manipulating symlinks, I would think.)
For one thing, aliases preserve the app's icon.
I put a new version of my finkcommander package into my exp directory on cvs. For anyone who wants to try out ideas on apps in Fink, this might be a good test object: It is a real app, and it builds in a few minutes.
Right now it installs into /sw/Applications, and it puts an alias on the Desktop.
