Starting with fink-0.9.9, users who need to make a choice between different packages to satisfy a dependency are given not only the names of the packages, but also the "Description" field.
With this in mind, I have revised the Descriptions of several dozen packages which appear in such choices. I attempted to make clear what the differences were, and I tried for some rough consistency in how those differences were described. In order to keep within the 60-character limit, I was forced to abbreviate sometimes, occasionally quite drastically. However, the "worst" abbreviations are in packages that have a partner where the abbreviation was not so drastic, and users should see both of those together. I committed all of these revisions to CVS, in both stable and unstable trees, but maintainers are of course free to make further revisions as they wish. Please do keep in mind the way in which this Description field will be presented to users as they are making choices. -- Dave _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
