[Fink-devel] Question about SplitOff for *-doc package

Hello all, I am currently packaging a new upstream version of dcmtk , and I wanted to get a bit more fancy about the package. The upstream software contains some html documentation which I'd like to wrap through a dcmtk-doc package. I was think

[Fink-devel] Move of dcmtk 3.5.2 to stable.

Hi there, I am maintaining the dcmtk package. It seems that the sources for the version 3.5.1 in stable were removed from the original server. The current unstable dcmtk 3.5.2 works very good, so I am proposing to move dcmtk 3.5.2 (and dcmtk-ssl 3.5.2) to stable. Thanks Bernd ---

Solved: [Fink-devel] perl warning in fink 0.9.12-1

OK, sorry for the trouble, it seems I had some dangling softlinks in /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo which pointed to unstable packages which were no longer available (at least I think this was the problem, because after cleaning up the local tree, everything is back to normal. Thanks anyway f

[Fink-devel] Still UFS corruption building xfree86

Hello there, I know that this is not really a fink-specific problem, but since (I think) a lot of people here are building xfree86 themselves, I just wanted to gather a bit more information about this issue: Recently I tried to upgrade my fink source distribution and stumbled upon strange build f

[Fink-devel] Question about installing header files

[Fink-devel] Committing package changes?

Hello there, since I couldn't fink a clear policy on this in the docs, I have to ask a question relating to changes to packages: I submitted a package through the Tracker which was added to CVS by David Morrison. I now want to make a small change -- as Max suggested in "[Fink-devel] Quick reminde
