That's a good idea! Unfortunately, the release cycle for fink itself is relatively slow (and monstrously more-so for 'stable'), whereas the problem is present and annoying us now. I dislike the idea of having a build process proceed differently depending on which version of fink one is using. Maintainers, users, and user-support folks all hate surprises and difficult-to-reproduce bugs. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
