I could change one line and make it create .pkg installers instead. The .dmg is 6.4MB and the installed .app is 20MB. This somewhat destroys your claim that "bundling a Qt framework inside the .app makes the .app grow by a few hundred MB". > > Patches/bugs are currently in the CMake bug tracker which, when fixed, should make this almost a one-liner. I'm obviously a supporter of Fink, being one of the core maintainers and all, but I think trying to package fink with a frontend would be a nightmare. First, what do you do with people with existing Fink installs? Upgrade their dependent binaries with new debs, potentially? Make the KDE packages in somewhere other than /sw? I'd rather work on making CPack Do The Right Thing for all of KDE out of the box, which benefits other platforms as well. -- Benjamin Reed a.k.a.
