As a long-time fink user but complete novice in the ways of porting and packaging, I just wanted to say thanks to you guys for all the good work that has been done on the fink project! Without fink OS X would be MUCH less useful to those of us in an academic environment with small budgets for commercial software but with needs for a variety of tools to get the job done.
That said, here is my first contribution to fink, hopefully it makes sense (like I said I am a newbie) I was trying to install the pygtk package on OS X 10.1.2 on an HFS filesystem and there is a problem with the case-insensitivity. In particular, there are two files GTK.py and gtk.py which are distinct but HFS overwrites gtk.py with GTK.py when it extracts the files from the tarball. To get around this, you can extract the tarball, then mv GTK.py GTK_HFS.py extract just gtk.py from the tarball, then edit it by changing import GTK.py * to import GTK_HFS.py * (near the top of the file) In my limited testing that seemed to make the two pygtk programs I tried work just fine (as long as they don't separately import GTK.py, in which case you'd have to edit those files too). Is there a better way to get around this? Does everyone else except me use UFS? What are the pros/cons to UFS relative to HFS? Again, thanks for all your work, and hopefully this is an appropriate forum for this message. Thanks.
