I had in my dists/test tree a symlink to the source dir for a package
i'm building. It causes fink index to behave completely crazy !
I think it should be mentioned in the Packaging Doc : Never, Never
make symlinks pointing outside fink's tree. It is BAD
The "Good Practice' is
/sw/fink/dists/test/main/finkinfo/category/mypackage/mypackage-1.0-1.info
mypackage-1.0-1.patch
and *elsewhere* :
Devel/mypackage/mypackage-1.0.tar.gz
mypackage-1.0/
mypackage-1.0-1.info -> /sw/fink/dists/[...]/mypackage-1.0-1.info
mypackage-1.0-1.patch -> /sw/fink/dists/[...]/mypackage-1.0-1.patch
So you can do, for example
$ diff -Naur mypackage-1.0/Makefile.orig mypackage-1.0/Makefile > mypackage-1.0-1.patch
Hope my error will help :-)
