The following is the message I sent to Debian and is related to the Fink install on Mac.Err, hu? You sent a message to "debian" (what does that mean, some debian mailing list?) related to Fink? Fink is completely separate project of Debian. There is no relation between the two projects, and sending mails to Debian regarding Fink is like sending mail to Apple regarding MS Word... :-)
I am not the best address to email such things either. Email them to the fink-devel mailing list (I am CCing my reply there)!
The problem is not directly Debian. When using the Fink installer for OSX I save the documentation to the Document folder of the Home directory in Mac. When I need to delete my fink installation and re-install I use the saved documentation. The problem is that once I eject the installer image the web page documentation becomes pornographic and links me to pornographic sites. No doubt the Russian hackers are exploiting some vulnerability of Internet Explorer browser cache and having a duplicate Browser doc on Desktop and the Home folder at the same time.
I don't quite follow you there... what "web page documentation", and how does it link to a porn site ?!? Could you give some more specific information? Like, what files are you talking about, what *exactly* are you doing, etc.
Do you mean the Fink binary installer got hacked somehow and contains files that link to a porn site?
My suggestion is to have a Fink Docs in a non-browser format. This may concern you if you have a link with Fink or the are exploiting Linux in this hack as well, such as the default path in SW /user/ used by Fink.Again I am afraid I don't understand what you are trying to say... I am not a native english speaker, my language skills are not sufficient to decode what you are trying to tell me, sorry, can you please rephrase? You want to say something like that a link to a fixed location like /sw/share/docs is bad, because it could be exploited by hackers ?!? If that's what you meant, I don't understand it, though, since to exploit that, the hacker would have to have access to your machine already anyway.
