Re: Darwin softwareupdate?

Hello all,

Given that Darwin and Mac OS X contain standard make scripts in 
/usr/share/mk...

Why is Darwin reinventing the wheel on this subject? Apple obviously 
knows how to leverage open source software but seems to have a 
hang-up with regards to Darwin's build environment. Maybe because it 
does not fit the XCode model but so what? Proven build systems exist 
here and now and could incorporate features of NetBSD's elegant 
cross-building.

What's so bad about public CVS servers and /usr/src plus /usr/ojb for 
the binary output? (Obviously something political if you've tried to 
use Apple's official ADC darwinsource site to download code.)

The same goes for package management. :( Can someone point me to 
"Installer's" Uninstall feature? (Shareware Desinstall is the only 
one I've found.) Correct me if I'm wrong but Darwinports does not 
appear to integrate with apples "package" system which appears to be 
little more than a framework for installation archives.

Michael.
