Hi folks--
How do I modify and install a fink package so that subsequent update-all doesn't overwrite the modifications?
If you must know, I want to change:
#ifndef MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_3
to
#if !defined( MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_3 ) || ( MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_3 > MAC_OS_X_MAX_VERSION_ALLOWED )
to enable compilation.
Thanks, --rich
0) Make sure your Trees: line in fink.conf ends with "local/main"
1) Don't make your modifications in the main fink trees but instead copy the files over to your local tree. If local/main is at the end of the Trees: line, then packages there get precedence over those in the main trees.
2) This, of course, doesn't protect the packages if a newer revision comes out. You can make the revision larger if you so desire.
