hi
I'd like to point out, why I would be happy to have a QT/Mac package although
its not binary compatible and the other fink apps will not run on top of it.
I tried to build a QT Application both with QT/X11 and QT/Mac, and for this I needed both
installed (once at a time) to test things. being able to tell fink install qt-mac, which would
result in uninstalling qt/x11 and installation of qt-mac, is preferable to uninstalling
qt/x11 using fink and manually compiling and installing qt/mac. also un-installing qt/mac
would be convenient in fink.
so switching between both using fink would be helpful. that's for the short term.
in the mid-term, are there reasons the qt-mac libraries cannot be installed as, let say,
libqtmac*... so being able to have qt/x11 apps installed while having qt/mac-dev at the same
time ?
Actually I started setting up a qt/mac.info but forgot how far I got (other things, other priotities..)

why does fink uses the X11-Version of the QT library instead of the native Macintosh-version which uses the Quartz-Engine? Somehow it could also be possibly to integrate both.
They are not binary-compatible, for one thing. We have only recently started accepting .app-bundle packages, and no one's made a package. ;)
They're not interchangeable, most of the Qt apps in Fink will not just recompile with Qt-Mac, they tend to use X11-isms that would cause them to break. It's not as easy as just dropping in a replacement.
