Re: [Fink-devel] FAQ & packaging reference: Suggests vs Recommends vs Enhances?

I found some information on the Debian web site about package relationships which answered most of my questions. I'm still not clear on how (and if?) "Enhances" actually works in dselect but I'll play with it some more. It would be helpful for newcomers to have this link somewhere in the faq (

[Fink-devel] Fink should recommend term-readkey-pm?

2002-11-21 Thread Carsten Klapp
Hi, After all this time of using fink I only just discovered today how much nicer `fink list` looks with term-readkey-pm installed, by taking advantage of wider terminal windows! I wonder whether fink should recommend it instead of only suggests, then it might reach a wider audience? from fink

Hi Jeremy, sed accepts piped input too so you can string multiple seds and greps together, try this: cat %a/%f.patch | sed 's:@PREFIX@:%p:g' | sed 's:@DESTDIR@:%d:g' | patch -p1 There may be a more efficient way to do it but this is how I know, and it works ok. Carsten On Thursday, November 2
