Dear Fink developers, I've run into a packaging problem on one of the submitted packages in the tracker.
The package is a kind of development environment used by high-energy physicists. It consists of a bunch of libraries together with some executables which help you use those libraries in working with your own code. (I might be describing this slightly incorrectly; I've not used this package myself.) The main executable won't start up unless the headers for the libs are present. So it seems like the binaries and headers should be packaged together. On the other hand, other things may depend on this, so the BuildDependsOnly=True flag does not seem appropriate. Any thoughts on how to make this conform to Fink policy, or else how to rephrase the policy to allow for this exception but not let in other things which we find objectionable? Thanks, Dave P.S.
