Greetings All, I'm the current maintainer of several Fink packages, namely aterm, netcat, ytalk and ytalk-nox. I've finally had time to read the updated Fink documentation, and have added Source-MD5 fields to all my packages (and a License field to ytalk and ytalk-nox). I've submitted the new versions to the package tracker with the same revision, since the actual generated package hasn't changed, just the documentation in the .info file. I've received several good feedbacks from users of aterm and ytalk, so is it correct to request here that they be placed in stable?
As for the netcat package, the old nc110 release has been without a maintainer for over a year and a half now, and I recently came across a new project, GNU netcat (http://netcat.sourceforge.net) which seems to have taken the old Public Domain source and updated it to use the GNU autoutilities as well as fixed some bugs and added some new features. I've created a new package for this GNU Netcat, which is currently at version 0.6.2. I was wondering how to handle this package in relation to the old one, as Fink believes that the old netcat-1.10 package is newer than the new netcat-0.6.2, when in fact the 0.6.2 version is intended to replace the 1.10 one. Is there a way to let Fink know that 0.6.2 is actually newer than 1.10? I'll plan on submitting the new package to the tracker once I get feedback as to how to handle the versioning problem.
