Regardless of where a SourceN tarball is found, it expands (or at least is documented to expand) to a well-defined location. So I guess the problem is what happens for a Source(N) that is not of a recognized complression/archive scheme. Ideally (IMO), such a file should be treated as if it were already expanded. That is, it should be simply copied to %p/src/%f (and further into SourceNExtractDir if specified). What *actually* happens...dunno. Maybe the simplest solution (assuming fink doesn't do that) would be to convert your plain file into a tarball and then let fink expand it, placing your file in a predictable location. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
