Dear fink-devel, We need to do some further work on our system-xfree86 package.
Imagine a user who is interested in doing binary-only installs of Fink packages. We already know that such a user won't need the Developer tools, because no compiling will be done. Similarly, such a user does not need the X11 SDK package. We need a system similar to that of other Fink packages, where both xfree86 and system-xfree86 are split into -dev, -shlibs, and main packages, and we use a build depenency only for system-xfree86-dev (which would be the part which requires X11 SDK). This is something we should do soon. The first step will be to construct xfree86 and system-xfree86 packages which do this; the second step will be to modify existing Fink packages to conform to this system. If you choose to believe that this recommendation is influenced by something I saw at WWDC, that's up to you. :-) -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: INetU Attention Web Developers & Consultants: Become An INetU Hosting Partner.
