[Fink-devel] Giving up packages: postfix.* and gdal

2003-07-27 Thread Daniel Parks
Hey, Both postfix-release and gdal need updating, and I haven't had time recently to do what needs to be done. Having an unstable computer doesn't help things. Anyway, if anyone would like to take over those packages, I would appreciate it. There are newer postfix packages than those in CVS i
