Hi,
After all this time of using fink I only just discovered today how much nicer `fink list` looks with term-readkey-pm installed, by taking advantage of wider terminal windows!

I wonder whether fink should recommend it instead of only suggests, then it might reach a wider audience?

from fink-0.11.0-1.info:
Suggests: storable-pm, term-readkey-pm
Nah. Besides the fact that "Suggests" is more or less uselss, we have a patch (or soon will have :-) in Fink CVS that gives us this functionality back w/o term-readkey-pm (I say back because it worked in 10.1 already, but Apple horribly broke the termcap setup in 10.2, just look at the value of the TERMCAP env variable yourself...)


Also I read the package description for this storable-pm, does that help speed up fink operations or what does it do?
It speeds out fink operations *a lot* by caching the package index, and is in fact installed when you bootstrap fink.
