Just so I know how bad a move this is... ;-)
In doing some fink functions, I see a number of warnings regarding fields
occuring more than once in various .info files. They looked like older
versions of the files, and I saw someone say that it might be okay to delete
the offending files and do another update from the cvs server.
I noticed when I deleted a file like gettext-0.10.40-3.info and did the
update, it didn't get replaced. But I deleted gettext-0.10.40-6.info and
redid the update, and it was replaced...
A) is/was it safe to delete the .info files that are giving those errors
after doing an index?
Yes. Especially because they are old versions.
B) do .info files keep accumulating over time? Is there a reason for that,
or am I doing something wrong?
They aren't supposed to: they are supposed to be removed when the corresponding file gets removed from the CVS server. For some reason, this isn't happening automatically for these files.
