It's a hack that was not intended to be a permanent addition to Fink. Internally, the less cruft code we have to maintain and worry about breaking the better. > I prefer that the function would stay.

That means 'fink fetch' will fail if it downloads an incomplete or broken file (instead of succeeding, but then having 'fink build' fail). Does that provide adequate protection for your situation? dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
