A couple more files in /sw/bin and /sw/sbin won't change much.
Everything in my gtk+2-shlibs looks pretty versioned, sometimes even more-so than the package-name itself (one of the many headaches of the pangocairo project:/ Much of gtk+2 looks versioned as well, so it could move over without a problem. I figured for now I'd just work on upgrading and not making long-standing problems any worse until we figured out good solutions. One solution along your idea would be to have the scripts be named with a version suffix (update-gdk-pixbuf-loaders-2) in the gtk+2-shlibs package (and have them do whatever PostInst necessary) and then leave gtk+2 itself with unversioned symlinks to those versioned scripts. Heck, could adjust things that use the scripts to use the versioned name directly and let gtk+2 itself fade away. This is actually just one example of several where a -shlibs needs to use its matched "versionless" tool at runtime:/ Also hits anything that has client libraries that interact with a daemon. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list Fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.devel
