That was a small data set. :-) And our mailing lists aren't set up by
default to have the reply go to the list, and that can admittedly be
misleading.
Actually, I get a fair amount of direct email about packages that I
don't maintain or use because I happened to be involved in a mailing
list discussion about them, and I typically forward them onto the
mailing lists. Generally it's best that discussions about bugs and the
like go on the mailing lists so that the community can benefit from
them. Also, I don't want to be the sole responsible party apart from
packages where I'm the maintainer ('fink info <packagename>').
Discussions about the those often occur off-list. I believe most
maintainers prefer to handle issues similarly.
Anyway, I'm hoping that you'll be able to inject the HalfDome fink and
get things back up and running.
