hi, i like that idea. what about a command like fink hold mozilla which checks for the latest mozilla version, say 0.9.9-4, then creates a new file hold-mozilla-0.9.9-4.info containing the above mentioned few lines and installs the package hold-mozilla-0.9.9-4. if you do a fink updat-all, the mozilla package will stay untouched. if you want to install a new version of mozilla, you would have to explicitely do a fink install mozilla and the mozilla-0.9.9-5 has to contain a line Conflicts: hold-mozilla (<= 0.9.9-4) of course, this line could be added implicitely to every package by fink. cheers, kilian _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
