I had a look at FinkCommander, and it looks very promising! One suggestion that I have, though... Perhaps when you click on the name of a package, the program should show the information immediately, instead of having to go to 'Source -> Describe'. This may take some tweaking on Fink's behalf, though... As it sometimes takes a while for Fink to retrieve the information. Perhaps parsing the info returned by 'fink describe <package>' would also be useful. Some users probably don't want to view the information in DescPort, DescPackaging and DescUsage, so maybe there should be an option to somehow only include the DescDetail field in the bottom pane. (I'm not sure how this would be done, though... Fink doesn't label the fields in its output...) You could then have an option somewhere to increase or descrease the amount of information given for packages (like you can do with dselect... Press 'I' with a package selected and it will switch between different levels of information.) One thing that might also be nice is to display the dependencies of a package. (Again, not by default... Perhaps on a different 'level'), but as Fink currently doesn't output this information in 'fink describe', that would be a bit difficult... [Turned out to be a bit more than one suggestion... Oh well! :) ] Hope this helps! Thanks! _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
