Possibly a > modification of that wouldn't be too hard to do. Apple uses a modification of apt/dpkg for darwin also, so it would not be to far away. I was more thinking along the lines of a partial/minimal reimplementation in ocaml though, using a separate status archive on systems who don't have integrated package system. If MacOS X can be made to use apt or something similar, i would be interrested by where they get the packages from, and if the plain debian source packages can be used there. Any mac user care for it enough to try ? The problem will also be present for people not using a debian based linux distrib, but i guess they rely on either inria packages or they OS vendor. Altough i suppose if we manage to have something working that works on windows, they can use it too without much modifications.
