A few thoughts: 1) Let freeciv and freeciv-sdl Conflicts: and Replaces: each other. That's easy, but if there's only the one file that overlaps another solution might be preferable. 2) Rename freeciv-manual in _both_ variants to avoid overlap, and use update-alternatives to allow fink (or the user) to select which one of the renamed items will provide 'freeciv-manual'. That avoids the Conflicts/Replaces between variants, at the expense of a little additional work in a PostInstScript and PreRmScript. 3) A separate freeciv-manual package (I'm assuming that it's a manual :-) ) which both freeciv and freeciv-sdl would Depend (or RuntimeDepend) on. This would entail an additional package description. Unfortunately you can't just do it as a Splitoff, because it's forbidden to have an invariantly-named Splitoff of a varianted package. 4) A freeciv-manual package and a freeciv-manual-sdl package which are Splitoffs of freeciv and freeciv-sdl respectively. They'd both contain the freeciv-manual executable, Conflict/Replace each other, but you'd set the dependencies in freeciv and freeciv-sdl to allow for both, e.g. RuntimeDepends: ... freeciv-manual (=%n-%v) | freeciv-manual-sdl (=%n-%v) I'm thinking RuntimeDepends might come in handy here to avoid deadlocks at build time. - -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk9BPYAACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ95NgCgmmk0ygk2DE9+TIAXFypOVSmS zoEAn04ZprRwfALaAihWrLFE5cZM4sEK =4FY6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list Fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net List archive: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.devel Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
