hi all, sometimes it would be very useful if one would be able to find out which files are contained in a specific fink package. if the package is installed, or if you at least have the .deb file, you can just use dpkg to find out which files belong to that package.
but if you don't have the .deb file, or if you have created a .deb file and you want to know if it complete, there is no way of finding out. what do you like the idea that every package maintainer provides for each package a list of files which are supposed to be included in the package. this would be a text file in addition to the .info file. it could be easily created after the .deb file has been created and would be very useful - especially but not only for debugging. for the binary release, one could also produce a zipped text file containing all files of the release. this would also help you, for example, if some header file is missing and you would like to find out if it is contained in any fink package. what do you think? cheers, kilian _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
