I just installed a new iPhone SDK, and for the first time ever
installed it alongside the existing tools. I chose to put the new
stuff in a folder /Developer/iPhoneSDK3.0b2.
Then I see that it installed effectively a whole new /Developer
hierarchy. It kinda bugs me that I have a devtools hierarchy inside
another, so I'm wondering if I can re-organize the /Developer
folder like a framework:
/Developer
/version1
/version2
Current --> version2
Will this break anything? Can I just move them around in the Finder
safely (I'll still make the link using ln -s)?
(1) If you've installed in /Developer, you shouldn't take any of its
contents -- say, Xcode.app -- out of its original location and put
it somewhere else within /Developer. That will break things. I don't
know if that's what your above description implied, but I figured
I'd make that clear.
(2) If you intend to use /Developer as an über-directory, and
install your different relocatable DT directories in sub-directories
under /Developer, I would say -- don't. For one, /Developer is the
default installation location, so you may some day wind up
installing there by mistake. For two, it's where some stuff goes
(like CHUD) regardless of where you choose to put the relocatable
stuff.
Make another top-level directory, like /Xcodes/, and put your
relocatable {Developer} directories in there, to avoid confusion.
That's what I do.
Okay, thanks for letting me know I'd break things. I'll file a feature
request to reorganize the /Developer directory to accommodate multiple
versions. I don't really want to clutter root with another directory.
