If CVS committers are careful to only place things in the official repository the are compatible with the version of fink in that branch, users that aren't manually playing with their package descriptions would never see this message. OTOH, if the user *is* doing something funky and is trying to use a "too new" .info file, I consider that a bug in the user's fink setup, so I made the warning mandatory. Consider that a user could correctly install a .info file (for example, following the "stable, but want one or two packages from unstable" FAQ) but not have the package(s) it contains appear in 'fink list' and have no idea why. > At the very least it should be restricted to verbosity 2 or above. I disagree, but if others think that's the way it should be, then it's easy enough to do it that way. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
