JF, I was trying to steer as close to the recommended package splits documented at... http://www.finkproject.org/doc/packaging/policy.php?phpLang=en#sharedlibs As for the BuildDepends being set to gcc4X, it would be trivial for do go through the info files in cvs and bump those to gcc4X-bin. I am more concerned about getting it right so that this never has to be dealt with again. MacPorts has a better approach in some ways but seems to totally punt on the issue of info and manpages (which they seem to just delete outright). I'll keep tinkering with this (at least the idea of building gcc4X with --program-suffix=-fp-4.X and creating the old program names as symlinks to these). Actually if I did that, the manpage/infopage issue is solved since I can just suffix those to not overlap. I'm not thrilled with the idea of fp as a suffux those as it looks too much like floating point.
