Could anyone direct me to, or offer additional, insights regarding this? I have tried to search the net for info. One of my motivations for recently becoming a Mac user was Mac's more recent embrace of OSS and the cool projects link Fink, FinkCommander, that have sprung up. In the last three months I have begun to appreciate the Mac community's synergetic energies. It seems unfortunate that I cannot get such software available via Fink. -lloyd ------ Forwarded Message From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 12 Jun 2002 18:11:56 -0700 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ finkcommander-Feature Requests-567963 ] fink install FinkCommander Feature Requests item #567963, was opened at 2002-06-12 05:15 You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=454470&aid=567963&group_id= 48896 Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Budd (budd) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: fink install FinkCommander Initial Comment: The summary is self-explainitory.

There was some discussion among the Fink maintainers a while back on whether to add a FinkCommander package to the distribution, and they ultimately decided not to for reasons that had nothing to do with FinkCommander's merits. I have no quarrel with their reasoning (not that it would matter if I did). They left open the possibility that a FinkCommander binary might be included in future releases of the Fink installer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=454470&aid=567963&group_id= 48896 ------ End of Forwarded Message _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas - http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm?source=osdntextlink _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
