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.
