Sorry, should have mentioned this in the last post. The validator can validate .info and .deb files (though .deb checking isn't doing much currently). You have to specify a concret file. E.g.
fink check myfoo-1.0-1.info or fink validate /sw/fink/debs/myfoo-1.0-1_darwin-powerpc.deb If you want to check all .info files in a given directory, you could use this: find -name "*.info" | xargs fink -q check The -q will activate quiet mode, which gives you a shorter output, and also doesn't warn about description fields longer than 45 chars (though it still will warn if the description takes more than 60 chars). Of course it is is not perfect, sometimes it generates invalid warnings (e.g. it warned me because package "align" had the word align in its desc, but in general is no way around that) Cheers, Max -- ----------------------------------------------- Max Horn Software Developer email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> phone: (+49) 6151-494890 _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
