Well, as you realize, this was more a proof-of-concept implementation, to show that it can be done easily. Personally I think (see my other maiL) that the maintainer field should be split. I also don't think it should be an attribute to the package element. Name, version and revision are direct (required) properties of every package; maintainer is not (well, it is required, but not a direct proprty of the package; it merely contains information, but is not esssential for the build/install process, nor for dpkg). >> <depends>bar, x11</depends> > >That comma syntax seems a bit un-XML. Yup, should be a list of <depends> elements instead. But again to defend Kyle, I think this was meant as a proof of concept only :) > >> <maintainer><![CDATA[John Doe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>]]></maintainer> > >Ugh. Time to learn XML "for real." Huh, what? I don't like doing it like that, but I's perfectly legal. The < and > appearing in the data have to be marked as CDATA. otherwise the file would be invalid XML. An alternative would be to translate them to > and < but I think that would be a really bad idea. So I think your remark is not very fitting.

Stupid SourceForge! :-( Sorry, fink-tracker is right now only available for fink team memebers.
