[Fink-devel] packages that are part of the system
I've noticed that a number of packages that are provided by fink are already included with the default install of MacOSX. i've found the following so far: AutoConf AutoMake Bash Emacs21 libiconv libxml2-2.5.4 m4 openssl-0.9.6i postfix python23 tcl (but not tk? I'm not sure) These are all in panther. Most are in Jag as well. libiconv is an essential package that need not be essential since its already there! I've made my own packages for the others (I don't like having redundant stuff on my comp) so when i build in fink my packages build against the system libs. I don't think this would break fink since there wouldn't be any systems without these packages. My $0.02.

However, keep in mind that sometimes the system versions lack important pieces (e.g. python on Jag, which was missing the headers, so you couldn't build anything against it).

... or readline. Lack of readline support hurts my head. -- K On Tue, 15 Jul 2003, Alexander K.
