In fact, I think it is easier than creating Debian packages. It involves writing an .info file that describes where the source is available, how it should be compiled, how the installation tree is constructed, etc. See: http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/quick-start-pkg/index.php?phpLang=en http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/packaging/index.php?phpLang=en And: find /sw/fink -name "*.info" You could develop new/alternative packages and offer them through a local web server for apt-get. Alternatively, you could consider submitting your .info-files to fink. As you say, someone needs to package findlib. > How do people release software with multiple > dependencies on mac ?
