Hi. I didn't understand until this last message what LINGUAS did. The basic philosophy of fink packages is that they should be constructed so that they will build *exactly* the same on every machine, no matter what else is installed. If we need variants (like -nox) we make separate packages.
In practice, this means, for example, that if the configure script tests for the presence of some package and does different things depending on whether it is present or not, they either it must always be disabled (by means of a configure parameter) or the package must be stated as a dependency. When I extend this philosophy to LINGUAS, it seems to me that LINGUAS *must* be disabled in fink. If we allow people to build packages with this variable set, then there will be many non-identical .deb files out there which is very hard to support. (This is the point of the philosophy, after all.) So rather than enabling LINGUAS, I think we need a way to disable it entirely. Just my 2/100ths of your favorite currency. -- Dave _______________________________________________________________ Hundreds of nodes, one monster rendering program. Now that's a super model!
