Alex,

	I would think that was obvious.... Mr. S. Jobs....

But seriously:

I did a google search:

	Document:	Building Darwin HOWTO 	by Rob Braun 
	Darwin Committer <bbraun@synack.net> 
     
	Revision History  
	Revision 2  8 October 2001  rjh - rhayden@apple.com  
 
I'd suggest asking bbraun@synack.net about the darwin committing process,
or worse case, check with rhayden@apple.com.

To the credit of Apple, it is only recently, and far after the freeze of
Jaguar, than it became obvious (at least to me) that MacPython was going to
default to the framework layout.

But that raises an interesting question of how to deal with Apple (or Apple
with Python) as far as packaging is concerned.

Is now python part of the Darwin project ? Did someone see a python folder
popping up in the CVS folders of Darwin ? If that is the case, a simple
patch that tweaks the Darwin makefile for Python might be enough, and we
just have to suggest it.

If not, we need to find out who is in charge at Apple.

Alex.
