SCM Basics
Jason W:
Akane-
Yes, they can be used together, as the scm is designed no to collide with things in the usual filesystem outside of /apps, or /opt if writable space is needed.

It will get a little tricky for things that, say, need dbus, but Apple includes dbus in their self contained apps from what I understand, so it can be done. In fact, if not allowing tczs as dependencies, we almost don't need a dep file since something like gtk2.scm or gtk3.scm can just be mentioned in the info file.

Abiword-cde.scm still has cde.tcz as dependency.
Jason W:
Thanks, I will include the cde binary with them.
Jason W:
Actually, I will drop the remaining one or two cde scm's as cde is a virtualization and sort of a chroot, great for it's purposes but since I can convert tcz's into scm's natively, I would rather stick with that route.
But the cde.tcz extension of course remains and it's use encouraged if you want to zip up an app and run it on, say, Debian stable.

thunderbird installs in its own directory /usr/local/thunderbird so it can be put into an SCM. However it need dependencies like gtk2, dbus, openssl and few others, so not a real SCM can be achieved. I'm not sure what benefits SCM would bring over TCZ.
