What packages (.pkg, not fink) are part of the base system install? Do we get all the /usr/bin BSD commands, or will we continue to have to have packages like gzip and tar be essential to make sure dpkg can use those commands (/me notes ? As for the case at hand, we could easily make 'make' essential and a dependency of 'fink'. Or there is a pure-perl implementation of the "make" command available we could embed in fink (or at least its build suite). If the issue is that fink needs certain things only when not using bindist, maybe we should have 'selfupdate' give a huge warning iff those things are not present and user tries to selfupdate using cvs or rsync. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list Fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
