All: I'm working on a new r-base package which will include R built as a framework and R.app (in addition to the command line X11 version of R). I went back and re-read the thread on .apps in Fink, but it didn't seem like there was any consensus on the issue of whether to install symlinks or aliases for apps in %p/Applications. My new r-base package now does this:
1) installs the framework in %pLibrary/Frameworks. 2) installs the .app in %p/Applications. 3) puts a symlink to %p/Applications/R.app in /Applications/Fink/R.app (in a post-install script). 4) removes the symlink in a pre-rm script. Is this reasonable - or should I hold off on this pending further discussion? -Jeff BTW: python and tcltk could be packaged to do this as well. -- Jeffrey S.
