I'd very much like too, but why do we still have the requirement that
the developer tools MUST be on the same partition as the OS?
Because the Xcode installation puts a number of files into /System and
/usr, and probably some other places. It's not just installing things
into the /Developer folder. Some of the files that are installed expect
their support files to be located at a specific path, so it's just not
possible to move stuff around.
I suppose one could manually move the stuff that gets installed into
/usr to another partition, and then go back and make symbolic links in
/usr/wherever that points to the new locations of each file and folder.
But that would be a freakin' pain...
Here's me thinking that 10GB would be a very fair size partition for
an OS and developer tools, but now I'm struggling.
That was a fair estimate for earlier versions of Mac OS X (I ran the
public beta through 10.2.8 on a 6 GB hard disk), but not anymore. And
it'll probably get larger over time... I still remember when people
were complaining that System 7 took a whopping 4 MB of disk space to
install... We've come a long way since then.
