Just a thought based on what you're doing now... > What this accomplishes: > * any freshly built .deb files get written to the shared volume in the > appropriate binary-darwin-powerpc directories > * any instance of fink rebuilds the local /sw/fink/debs dir before > running.

What happens if you patch fink itself to store an actual copy of the .deb in /sw/fink/debs instead of a symlink to the file dists/? That way you could have /sw/fink/debs on your server and not need the recurse-and-symlink wrapper. Look in /sw/lib/perl5/Fink/PkgVersion.pm at around line 2332 for the symlink_f call. OTOH, if you only use fink (or FinkCommander, don't know about dpkg or dselect) to install packages, do you even need those /sw/fink/debs things at all? According to They were not present in early versions of fink, and glancing at the current code it appears that the /sw/fink/debs file is only used if the dists/... .deb file is not present. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market...
