2003-03-02 Thread Alexander Hansen
I can do it. Let me make sure I put down an answer that is useful: 1) The problem only afflicts unstable, correct? 2) The problem is being fixed. 3) Users should start by updating those packages that are complaining. 4) If the update doesn't solve the problem, let the maintainer know. On Mon, 3

[Fink-devel] libpng / libpng3 FAQ ?

2003-03-02 Thread Max Horn
Maybe we can add a FAQ item on the libpng / libpng3 issue. I know we are transiting to libpng3 anyway, but for those people in a (semi) broken state already it would be nice if they had a way to find out what is going on and how to get out of it. Also it would be convenient for us: whenever a m

Thanks to a report on fink-users, a problem with both libpng3 and the emacs21 packages was detected. (libpng3 was not properly running ranlib on libpng.a). This has now been repaired, and the list of packages I will move to stable during the "libpng move" next week now includes: editors/emacs21-2
