Hey,

There seems to be an mistake in either Fink or the documentation about InstallScript, Files, and SplitOff.

According to the documentation, Files is supposed to run after the InstallScript of the parent package, but before the InstallScript of the SplitOff. In reality, Fink runs Files after the InstallScript in the SplitOff.

Personally, I like the idea of being able to copy files into a SplitOff, then deal with them as I see fit in a InstallScript. For example:

SplitOff: <<
Package: %N-shlibs
Files: lib/lib%N.1.1.dylib
InstallScript: ln -s lib%n.1.1.dylib %i/lib/lib%N.1.dylib
<<

I don't seem much point in running InstallScript: before Files:, there is an argument for not running InstallScript: at all in SplitOffs.

There was a discussion about this on #fink today:

Around 20:33, then 21:20.

Daniel
