That’s not currently possible. The two packages share the same package description file and therefore the same short description field. > and/or say 'noX' or better 'no-X11’. ‘noX’ is illegal, because our packagnames are lowercase. no-x11 would be a possibility, I guess, but changing package namespaces is a bit involved. the -nox nomenclature comes from Linux packaging in the early 2000s so it’s got precedent. > > As for responding - I have X11 so should have selected (2)? It’s up to you, since it’s not going to change the build. I assume that texlive is getting dragged in as part of a documentation build somewhere. I’m personally against forcing that, but it makes for a little more hassle in having the docs be in separate packages. > > Thanks for great work on fink! > > Regards, > > Tom > > Thomas D.
