So you would migrate from .info files to .vinfo files, over time? That's
quite a hack!
Seriously, if this were going to be done, then goal #1 of the hack would be
to set up a new, extensible, % system so that this would never need to be done
again in the future. I don't know what form that would take, but we would
certainly need it.
Also, I would vote for .finkinfo as the new extension.
And, if we have to do this, we need to make sure that anything else we want to do that changes the info file format happens at the same time, we won't have many other opportunities to do so.
The best way i see to fix this now and for the future is to version the info files. If fink sees InfoFileVersion: 2, and it only knows how to read 1, then it can ignore the entire info file and not die. It would also help with fink validate, as it could error that you are using things that you should not be for that info file version. Call the version flag what you will, but I see no other way of doing it.
