Incorrect. Fink's master mirror automatically mirrors source tarballs for packages that are part of the fink dist (those that are available via 'selfupdate') for which it is legal to do so. But also, all other sources behave the same way, i.e., a mirror:gnu file for a package you are just writing wouldn't be on finkmirrors either. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
