[...] >It will not be permitted for another package to depend on barN itself. That should be more something like "Depending on barN itself is deprecated. It is possible for backward compatibility, but should be avoided in new revision of your package". Well, use a better phrasing, but I hope you get the idea :) [...] >There should be a dependency specifed in package barN: > Depends: barN-shlibs (= exact.version.of.barN) >and otherwise the dependencies in the two packages should be identical. That is not really necessary. Since barN depends on barN-shlibs, it automatically "inherits" all depends/conflicts fields from barN-shlibs There may be more issues or not, but I don't have time now to read carefully through it. Overall seems you done a good job. 8-) Off to studies, 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
