It's always good to have new members, especially since you appear to know what you're doing ;-) > First, what is the standard procedure for testing and certifying a > .info file for inclusion in the standard fink distribution?

Most packages available only have one mirror set, they just use Source: http://www.foo.bar.org/mirror/foo/bar.tar.gz, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Is this a bug in my .info file, or a bug with > fink? In general, it would be a bug with fink, except the method you are using for the multiline fields is old. The way to do it would be CompileScript: << ./configure %c make << However, since you are just using the default compilescript, you needn't include it anyway. > Oh, I guess I have a third question.

Can you attach the license in a private email to me (don't send it to the list, because anybody who gets the digest will recieve the file inline), I'll try to figure out what it is, then tell you why. Usually stuff like that is OSI-Approved, but i really can't tell till i've looked at it. > Thanks in advance for your help, You are very welcome > George Madrid > [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kyle Moffett [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
