Of course, if there is a solution for package management, we should reuse it.
In adition we have to move further.
Hi,
have you had a look at Fink and their program "Fink Commander" ?
<http://fink.sf.net>
IIRC Fink Commander is written in Cocoa, and would thus probably be a
good basis for a port to GNUstep. It uses an existing package format but
adds some stuff on top of that.
For those who aren't familiar, Fink provides an easy means to install a
huge number of ported packages on Darwin/MacOS X, resolving dependencies
and all that jazz.
It's simply a package manager, and not really as intuitive to use for
an installer for end-users, but it might be a good starting point.
