Well in the case of texlive, there certainly seems to be plenty of stuff in the debian/ subdirectory, but you _can_ build the packages yourself if you want ... and the splitting looks reasonable, see there http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/texlive-base (Not saying that this is a trivial thing to do, but the package descriptions in debian and fink are not that different, from what I understand.) Anyway, I will have access to a debian (well ubuntu) system pretty soon, I will have a look at the build process. /v -- Vincent Beffara UMPA - ENS-Lyon 46 allée d'Italie 69364 Lyon Cedex 07 Tél : 04 72 72 85 25 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
