Hi Peter,

I am obviously missing something by skim reading this thread. Why are we
going to be adding SHLIBS_DEPS to a package which already has a "perfectly
good" list of dependencies? This can be done gradually, surely, by
maintainers updating their packages:
Yes, that's how I think it should be implemented. However, if we do it as e.g. Justing wants to, and change the meaning of the Depends field, then this update can not be performed gradually. That's more or less what I am complaining about, and what Martin Costabel explained very nicely in his mail, I think (thanks Martin).
Ok, well what about, instead of using Info3: << and hiding the info file from older fink, and people complaining about copying the info file but fink still doesn't see it, to adding InfoVersion: 3 and if that field is set >=3, fink will use the new dep style. Old finks shouldn't fail when they try to install SHLIB_DEPS, because there will be a builddep on the new fink, but that'll just be a faq anyway, just in case. No current breakage, and maintainers can choose the method to use.
