In order to 'fink list', the only things you need are the pure perl
parts...don't need a full local fink installation or compiled dpkg and
other support binaries. Until recently, the web PDB database update
script was running on a linux box on which we did not have root
access.

Seems reasonable (and generally useful too)...the update is driven by
cron, so it'd be easy to dump the whole db after updating it. Here's
"mysqldump" of the "package" database:
http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/full_dump_2006-03-20_23:35.sql.bz2
Is that what you need?
I don't know much about mysqldump, but I do know that our databases
are password-protected. Is there a way to have mysqldump read the
password from a file so we don't have to hard-code it in Yet Another
Place in our scripts? Alternately, is there a way to do the dump using
mysql commands (since we already have a generic way to "run mysql
commands using the password")?
