It does not affect the results...package *must* build the same regardless of how many cores user allocates to fink. So there's no *requirement* that parallel be done at all, so there's no need to require a fink that supports that optional feature. The time we need a BDep on a recent fink is if only a recent fink can handle a .info entry at all *and fails without it* or else builds differently/incorrectly. dan -- Daniel Macks dma...@netspace.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WhatsUp Gold - Download Free Network Management Software The most intuitive, comprehensive, and cost-effective network management toolset available today.
