It seems that OpenDarwin.org is looking for a packaging system to accompany Darwin. This may be the closest thing we can find to an "official" packaging system for Darwin/OS X so we should proceed carefully and consider many options.

Jordan Hubbard was looking at Fink but had a few doubts based on some instability caused by what RangerRick called a sourceforge.net screw up affecting the bootstrapping of Fink. This is clearly a serious issue. If Fink could find more stable hosting it may be it. Jubilation for the Debian fans.... :)

I also suggested that we look at the Gentoo portage system. Its got the ability to have multiple versions of the same "package" or "port" installed simultaneously without the need for several different package entries via the SLOT mechanism. Interesting stuff.... Important stuff.
