Apparently you're supposed to use dselect to hold stuff. However, it didn't work for me: Just as a test case, I tried it on SDL.. chose sdl 1.2.3, and hit "=". (hold). It showed held in dselect. Then did a fink update-all, and sdl 1.2.4 downloaded, and... dpkg installed it right over 1.2.3. I had assumed it would build the deb and then stop. Anyone get this to work? -Ben -- http://homepage.mac.com/bhines/ _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
