[Fink-devel] RFC: What will this break?

[Finlay Dobbie]

I just checked in a patch to Fink CVS which reworks the package indexing code. Previously, if we detected the db was out-of-date, we ignored the current one and rebuilt it from scratch. Now I made it so that if it detects a modified or new package, it injects the description for just the files that are modified.

However, there is no reliable way of pruning old package info. So, if you remove a package's info file, but don't re-index, the old info is still in the database and available to Fink, and so on. Can anybody see any problem with this?
