[Fink-devel] How to deal with multiple configuration packages

[Jose' Cruanyes]

Hi

I,ve installed the postgresql package from the 1.2/unstable tree, but unfortunately the configuration choose by the package maintainer doesn't match my needs

I need Java, and I don't want a bunch of other options there included (tlc ecc) that have also really deep dependencies, I've to install X, and many other packages that I don't want installed.

I can create a new package, call it postgresql-wo (wo stands for WebObjects since that is the purpose of this package) or any other name, configure it accordingly and install it

but tomorrow I could need yet another different configuration and the permutations of the various options could yield to a fairy large number of different packages, each one replaces and conflicts with any other, so the creation of the nth package requires modifications in every other.

is there a proper way to deal with this problem?

apologies for my english, but is the only I have :-)

Pax et Bonum
