Re: [Fink-devel] new fink commands

[TheSin]

okay I'll change it to splitoffs and pogma said find is bad too, and I like pogma's suggestion of showparent...like that one Max? I would love to have a fink dev -switch then we coudl have a fink dev --help...anyhow for now I'll change the command names and get more input on the dev command space.

Chaos is the beginning and end, try dealing with the rest.

I just added these two commands to fink HEAD, dmalloc should be adding them to the man pages for me tomorrow, please provide feedback.

fink splits -> returns a list of children of a pkg including it's parent

Should be "fink splitoffs", with a shortcut alias "splits"

fink find -> returns only the parent of a pkg for quick reference.

Badly named, why not "fink parent FOO" ? "fink find" sounds *way* more generic than that and IMO will quickly lead to confusions.

Furthermore, I am not happy with those "esoteric" commands polluting the global command name space. Maybe we should move all developer commands to a separate "namespace", a bit like "cvs admin" ...
fink dev splits FOO
or even a separate command:
fink-dev splitoffs
(the check/verify, and checksums commands would be other candidates for this).
