If you want to provide your own binary distribution, check out http://www.finkproject.org/doc/advanced/bindist.php?phpLang=en and add a web page to your site which roughly describes what you're building against, so people are prepared for impact :) ciao -- Marco Bonetti Slackintosh Linux Project Developer: http://workaround.ch/ Linux-live for powerpc: http://workaround.ch/pub/rsync/mb/linux-live/ My webstuff: http://sidbox.homelinux.org/ My GnuPG key id: 0x86A91047 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
