Long ago I repeatedly proposed putting the OS X version the info
was targeted for as the beginning of the revision field, or some
form of it, this would make it possible to update-all on an
updated os x and everything could be rebuilt and updated.
Are you arguing that on a system upgrade, *everything* needs to be
rebuilt? If you do, then there is an obvious solution which has the
advantage of requiring *less* work than the present system: Just
request that on a system upgrade, Fink should be erased and
reinstalled from scratch. Don't upgrade anything, just reinstall.
Not more compiling time than if you upgrade everything, and much
less hassle, because all backward compatibility issues would simply
disappear.
No, it doesn't *need* to be rebuilt, not everything, but often much/
most of the tree does. What I am saying is i can have the same info
file, use it to build foo-1.0-1 on 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4, and those
resulting debs have the same name/info, but are 100% not the same,
and because of this, do not follow policy. Even if we keep the deps
the same, somehow, they are still different, because fink rightly
adds a few deps based on the system it was built on. (a 10.4 package
cannot be used on a 10.2 system, but a 10.2 package might still work
unchanged on 10.4)
