These are the package .info and .patch files--they're what Fink uses to
build the package.

You might want to send your beef to finkcommander-users--that list is more
directed toward FC-specific issues.

Subject: [Fink-beginners] usability issue: double clicking


Double clicking on an item is one the biggest pieces of GUI real estate.
FinkCommander spends it on, uh, a geeky mess of what looks like debugging
info. For example double clicking on pan informs me that:

...
diff -ru pan-0.13.3/po/Makefile.in.in pan-0.13.3-patched/po/Makefile.in.in
--- pan-0.13.3/po/Makefile.in.in        2002-12-30 06:40:24.000000000
+0100
+++ pan-0.13.3-patched/po/Makefile.in.in        2003-03-01
03:03:27.000000000 +0100
@@ -26,9 +26,8 @@

 prefix = @prefix@
 exec_prefix = @exec_prefix@
-datadir = @datadir@
-libdir = @libdir@
-localedir = $(libdir)/locale
+datadir = $(prefix)/share
+localedir = $(datadir)/locale
 gnulocaledir = $(datadir)/locale
 gettextsrcdir = $(datadir)/glib-2.0/gettext/po
 subdir = po
...

It would make far more sense from a usability perspective to have a double
click perform whatever an "open" action in this context would be, since
that's the standard and hence the expectation.  Probably that would be to
do a binary install of the item.
