I planned on doing both -users and -beginners, because I don't have posting permission to -announce (I sent email out about this, but no reply). Any changes made in the docs are already automatically sent out on fink-commits, just like updates to packages. -- Alexander K. Hansen Levitated Dipo

I just got my new G5 system setup. Yeah!! It is the 1.6GHz version. I just added a Gig to the 256M that came with it. Now I am in heaven. I am getting ready to get fink running on it. I noticed that it has packages for the Dec2002 Dev Tools as well as a G5 update which includes gcc 3.3. M

Hi, I have the same problem, and it's a problem with the mplayer package. In a previous email, I wrote: So "mad" should be replaced by "libmad" in the Build-Depends and Depends lines of the file /sw/fink/10.2/unstable/main/finkinfo/graphics/mplayer-0.90.0-2.info When you do this manually, the i

I think it sounds like a very good idea. However, for the sake of completeness, I would suggest also posting such update announcements to fink-users and fink-announcements. I haven't checked, but if the User's Guide, FAQ, etc, are part of the fink cvs repository, it might also be advisable to

I just had the same error as reported by Toby, when trying to install mplayer for the first time. The cause for this is a typo in the dependency that mplayer is looking for: It tries to find the package mad-shlibs, but the package name is actually libmad-shlibs ! So "mad" should be replaced by "
