Generally, users should not be editing the info files in-place, and instead should copy the file to their "local" tree. (Packagers should already know such things, and when we tell users about working around a temporary issue, we usually remember to recommend they copy it to local and edit it there.) > Scanning package description files....WARNING: Unresolved CVS conflicts in > "/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/sci/ccp4.info". > WARNING: Repeated occurrence of field "depends" at line 61 of > "/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/sci/ccp4.info". > WARNING: Repeated occurrence of field "builddepends" at line 62 of > "/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/sci/ccp4.info". > WARNING: Repeated occurrence of field "buildconflicts" at line 63 of > "/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/sci/ccp4.info". > > It should clearly state these are unresolved merges in the info > file and request the user to solve them or delete the file and > pull it down again. That said, it's probably better to make this an ERROR instead of a WARNING and dump right out, so people don't think this is something they can ignore, or lose in the middle of the output somewhere. - -- Benjamin Reed a.k.a.
