-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Sounds great vasi...we could have new fields such as VarientConflicts ot FlavorDepends to take care of dependancies like that, but it is a whole lot of work...what are your suggestions for starting, so we can implement it piece by piece?
One suggestion i would like to make is to use the Provides line as dselect does. Package foo depends on httpd-server, for example. When I choose to install foo, dselect makes me choose a package that provides httpd-server. This makes it very easy for developers, because then we dont need to know every single package that is a web server. it's up to the ppl that maintain thire own packages to list what features it provides. The hard part about this is listing the different things that can be provided, so we do not end up with provides lines such as web-server, httpd-server, https-server, etc. but it sounds feasible...fink 1.0, here we come ;-) - -chris zubrzycki - - -- PGP public key: http://homepage.mac.com/beren/publickey.txt ID: 0xA2ABC070 Fingerprint: 26B0 BA6B A409 FA83 42B3 1688 FBF9 8232 A2AB C070 ======================================================== "Sadly, text alone cannot convey the depths of my sarcasm." -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.0 (Darwin) iD8DBQE9pGlQ+/mCMqKrwHARAt9HAKCPJFI71dvAwDblBWGxRVfTECEraQCg0wSK ubN6Uq/RYffr9rPsFChBisg= =7JuY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
