I agree, it would be good to have a mechanism to query users in this way, when there is a decision to be made during an upgrade.
It's a bit hard to see how we would implement that, though, with the current Fink structure. About the best that could be done would be some kind of pre-install script which asked the user a question, such as "This package no longer contains xaw3d support; you might want to install the other variant instead; are you sure you want to continue? [Y/n]". On the other hand, some users might get annoyed that they have to answer this question whenever that package is installed... -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility Learn to use your power at OSDN's High Performance Computing Channel http://hpc.devchannel.org/ _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
