This doesn't have anything to do with using --build-as-nobody, which is really set up to keep packages from dropping files directly into the filesystem, and doesn't take effect until you actually start generating files from a build. I assume that there are additional tests run on a .info file in maintainer mode (-m) versus using "fink validate foo.info". - -- Alexander Hansen Fink User Liaison -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkt9ch8ACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ8YJwCfVstAElC1HIPWcFyaT9iGSKYH zt0AnAg2oTPCSUegfC3QrVi47qd4iv0U =44Kq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
