Question for now is whether we want to add these packages to some
separate tree, either within or outside of Gentoo, or have them in
the
main tree. In the latter case, we can make a separate category
(macos-only?) to put them in, or try to mix them in the tree (where
would qt-mac fit? and should it require a virtual because it
provides
qt?)
Personally, I'd love to see a category (or multiple categories?)
just for software intended exclusively for Mac OS X. Might be a bit
more difficult to swing that by the rest of the developers, though...
This implies there should also be a separate category for packages
that are suitable for Lunix only. In the ideal world, IMO, x11-libs/
qt should build on both platforms, behaving correctly whether it is
on MacOS or Linux; it is inelegant to require users on different
platforms to emerge different packages to get the same thing
(although for development reasons it might be reasonable to have an
x11-libs/qt-meta package that pulls in either linux-libs/qt or macos-
libs-qt as required).
Stroller.
