Starting in fink-0.26.0, there will be a new field "Distribution" which can be used to restrict a given file to only applying to the listed distribution(s). This will allow us to have the 10.4 and 10.5 distributions share a common set of packages.
Sometimes, however, it will be necessary to have separate files for the different distributions, and for this reason the distribution is now allowed to be made part of the filename (if necessary). The validator in 0.26.0 (and beyond) will allow filenames of the following form: the invariant packagename, optionally followed by the architecture, optionally followed by the distribution, optionally followed by either version or version-revision, each delimited by hyphens, concluding with ".info". The "architecture" and "distribution" components are only allowed if the corresponding field is present in the package, and if it specifies exactly one value. This is slightly more restrictive than the allowed filenames in previous versions of fink, but every existing .info file already satisfies the new rules. -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
