Hi all,
I'm opening a discussion on this subject of where to store packages that
will only work on OSX. Examples of such packages are Dirk Shoenberger's
qt-mac package [1] (which works by the way), and a package I just made:
sharedmenuscocoa (which is a requirement to build Camino), and the
package I want to have: Camino itself. They all make no sense on
anything but OSX, and perhaps a tiny little bit on GNUstep environments,
but I doubt that for now.
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?)
Thoughts, opinions? I'd like to have Mozilla list on their site you can
use Gentoo for Mac OS X too, so that would require us to have the
packages they need in the tree :)
