I just modified the .info file parser in fink CVS to be stricter in how it parses .info files. That doesn't change how it parses the .info files (i.e. the same .info file will still result in exactly the same behavior, regardless of bugs it contains). However, fink now will generate additional warnings for those bugs, which might be turned into errors in the future.
At the end of the mail you will find a list of warnings in the 10.2-gcc3.3 tree. These issues probably also exist in the 10.2 and 10.3 trees and should be fixed there, too. Also those trees may have additional issues. For your convenience, the affected packages and their maintainers are:

pike7.4If you have any questions regarding this (e.g. if you don't understand why exactly your package is wrong), don't hesitate to ask :-)
