Most certainly! Seems like the maintainer-of-record is AWOL and this thing sounds like it's broken for along time without anyone trying to fix it. OTOH, you seem to understand how to get it working again.

[Fink-devel] CompileScript no-op messages
When a package has nothing to compile, we are expected to include a CompileScript that does a no-op and returns a true value. Maintainers usually implement this via something like echo Nothing to compile, but there is a wide range of solutions for this. I ran the following commands to get the full list: egrep -hr CompileScript: /sw/fink/10.3/unstable/*/finkinfo | egrep -vi 'make|build' | sort -u Below is the list of all no-ops I gleaned from that output. I propose that we standardize on CompileScript: /usr/bin/true or the following reasons * less verbose (it's a no-op after all) * doesn't emit any unnecessary English text (in case internationalization matters here) If the community does not support /usr/bin/true, then at very least we should standardize on agreed verbiage for the echo.
