Nope, just need to make sure that validator also enforces a BuildDepends on a version of fink that knows about this new syntax. Otherwise a package built by an older version of fink will include that literal varianting syntax as part of the Shlibs field. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
