Does anyone still use this mode? Do we still need this
functionality?
Why removing it?
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.
Figured I'd receive this just *after* removing it from HEAD. *grr*
I check my /sw/src with that function if there
are incomplete or broken downloads.
Fink now checks MD5 at download time. 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?
The check on fetch (or build) is a good replace for checksums.
You can leave it as it is now.
