RE: Installer.app feedback

[Adam Fedor]

There's no point in coming up with a new packaging format - you just have to 
solve all the same problems that everyone else has. Probably there should be a 
bundle that installs from source though,

Does that mean that the installer handles different packaging formats, 
such as .deb, .rpm etc.?

Your proposal sounds reasonable; however: Since GNUstep is a software 
system that has no need for the complicated packaging convolutions that 
traditional Unix software needs, and is quite distinct from the 
surrounding Unix/Windows environment, wouldn't it be more sound to 
leave RPMs etc. quite alone and create a much simpler format just for 
GNUstep?

Björn
