Message: 2 Date: Tue, 18 Feb 2003 22:15:59 +0100 From: David <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Fink-devel] A suggestion for the fink package Manager-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Hello. I would like to add the fink packager manager itself as a project to Freshmeat. I know that we are already present with the distribution but the package manager itself might be interesting to others as well. Not only because the release circle is faster and thus we will be on the front-page more often, but also because it might attract some developers to look at that code and only that code. We could also supply daily-snapshots that way. Any objections? - -d
Depends on what this means. I know I'm not part of the fink development community, I'm really just a user of fink who happens to also know a lot about unix and programming. I've often wanted something like fink for various unixes. Solaris and Tru64 (my target platforms) could greatly benefit from something like fink. The ease in creating a .info file and specifying dependancies and having that app compile is wonderful. Source to bin package(deb) to installed package is great.
I'm not sure of fink's usage of dep, but if It could bootstrap a deb package environment on any unix I would consider it a powerful and very useful tool. I thought there might be some porting involved, but I might just give it a try on another unix platform.
