OK, I just put the (hopefully) last part of the splitoff change into 
CVS: build dependencies of splitoffs and their parents are now always 
properly computed (previously, this was not at all correct, one just 
didn't notice it in many cases). In addition, I removed the annoying 
debug message "Splitoff found", and fixed the nested heredoc support.

I would like all of you to go ahead and use the latest CVS. Test it 
with splitoffs, if you can, but also test it with normal packages. Do 
anything you can think of. Make it's life hard. Try to break it =).

If you can, please also test Peter's changes to "fink list" and "fink 
apropos" (enter "fink list --help" or "fink apropos --help" to see 
what I mean =). We should update the man page to mention those 
extensions, too, BTW.


Please report any problems you have ASAP. If you did a lot of testing 
with this version, please report that to me as well. I want to make a 
new package manager release as soon as possible, possibly as early as 
monday.

Once that has been done, we can start to convert unstable CVS to use 
splitoffs. Then, after some more time (another week maybe), we can 
put the new package manager into stable CVS, too, and start using 
splitoffs there as well.

Then, in say two (or better three? what do you think?) weeks from 
now, I'd like to aim for a full Fink release, dubbed 0.4.0. I figure 
this step is justified, as we added substantial changes to the 
package manager, and the package DB has grown a lot since the last 
release, too.



Cheers,

Max
