As opposed to fink and Darwin, I'm thinking of putting also macos -only apps like the virtual deskop manager, widgets, popular apps (adium, proteus, ...) into portage. Thoughts? I think it would be nice if people could reuse portage to install some of the free apps they would download and install anyway next to portage. The virtual desktop app for instance is something that could be included by apple in their tiger release quality-wise. Why not provide that feature optionally to gentoo users?
I've created the app-macos category: For opensource native mac (cocoa, whatever) applications such as Desktop Manager, Dashboard Widgets, Popular IM clients, ... regular software goes into the regular categories. App-macos is only for things that are macos only. Something that runs under linux too, should probably go in another category. sys-darwin category: For all the hardcore darwin stuff that doesn't really fit another category. If you check /usr/portage/profiles/default-macos-10.3 (or 10.4) you'll see that packages.build has a lot of packages in the sys-darwin category. These are all provided by the Darwin core. (Device drivers, Darwin specific makefile, projects (bootstrap tools) ...
Closing out bugs that've been resolved for a while now...
