Thanks for diagnosing this problem: I had noticed it affecting fvwm2 at some point, but was never able to accurately determine what was going on. I have created modified versions of the swi-prolog and wmmail packages which do not depend on libxpm, and they both build fine on 10.1 and 10.2; I will

[Fink-devel] rating Fink

2002-09-26 Thread David R. Morrison
Fink has been listed on a new O'Reilly site, OSDir.com, and we've been invited to add a link or button to Fink's homepage allowing users to rate Fink at that site. Any opinions, pro or con, about whether to do this? Or about where to put the button or link on the webpage? -- Dave

[Fink-devel] Packages not to be moved

2002-09-26 Thread David R. Morrison
Ben Hines has made a nice list of packages which have not yet been moved to 10.2. Perhaps this is a good time for fink developers to make a list packages which should *not* be moved. 1) manconf should not be moved (I believe this is the upshot of previous discussions) 2) presumably, lilypond

I will concede to this point too that packages should compile the same on everybody's system, or else it causes a nightmare for the user to select and for maintainers to maintain all these separate minimal packages, as I found out when trying to make placeholder packages for OpenSSL. The "wi
