Thanks for the useful tips.

For nget that came out tonight, the build broke at the configure stage because of conftestsFirst off, note that it's not sufficient to fix a package to work with the CVS version of fink - rather it must always work with 0.11.0, and supporting CVS is optional (but of course highly welcome).
that relied explicitly on putting themselves '-Werror' (in 'checking recv ARG2'), so the
first fix couldn't be used, but replacing "--with-pcre-prefix=%p" by "--with-pcre" in the
ConfigureParams solved the problem by getting rid of all -I/sw/include flags.
(Also, the BuildDepends autoconf25 seems superfluous...)
As an organisational matter, what to do with such package-specific notes ? Clearly a
large number of maintainers don't use cvs-fink. Just send the notes to the maintainer
so he can keep them for when (and if..) fink changes? Might lead to some duplication
of efforts among those that do. On the other hand, one should probably not clutter the
list with such notes. Maybe systematically cc'ing to .... the reports to maintainers ?
Secondly, if you need to modify a package to work with fink CVS, send the changes to the maintainer, not to the list. In case of major changes, you might want to contact the maintainer *first* if they already did do this work.
Finally, you can document specific configure choices, patches etc. in the DescPackaging and DescPort fields.
Cheers,
Max
