Re: Fink 10.15 & read-only root

Dear John,
Have you tried, e.g., /Applications/sw?  I would assume users can still write to /Applications.

However, with 10.15 there is a fundamental shift compared to all previous OS-X versions: the root filesystem (/) is read-only and will NOT allow /sw to be created. My testing thus far has used ~/sw, which is less than ideal (e.g., no bindist). My question is: is it possible to get Apple to create a ‘firmlink’ so that /sw is read-write? Has anyone come up with a more clever solution? Hoping I can help further the cause with 10.15…
