Hi all,
Any forward movement on getting darwinx into Fedora proper?
The one other toolchain I personally would find interesting would be
DJGPP, the extended DOS tools:

Hi hpa,
Unfortunately it won't be possible to add the darwinx toolchain to the
official Fedora repositories. The reason behind this is licensing. The
Mac OS X SDK which is created by Apple contains many headers which are
licensed under the APSL 1.x license. These licenses are on the list of
forbidden licenses for Fedora:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main?rd=Licensing#Bad_Licenses
So unless Apple updates the license of all pieces of the SDK to a more
liberal one (which I consider very unlikely) then darwinx in the
official Fedora repositories will be a no-go.
I don't have any personal interest in introducing/maintaining djgpp in
Fedora, but of course everybody else is free to propose and maintain
packages for djgpp in Fedora.
