I think the first 2.6.10 fink packages actually were different on 10.3 vs 10.4, so the different Revision was important. Now, I guess it just feels weird to have the "high 10.4 Revision value" in 10.3. There are several ppackages that no longer have 10.3/10.4 differences but have maintained the Revision difference. It seems a bit rude to force 10.3 users to rebuild a large package, so if we wanted to unify the Revision, I'd urge waiting until pushing out an update (so the users would be rebuilding anyway, not just for maintainer convenience). Note that just because there is a high Revision of gtk+2 in 10.4, packages do not need a versioned dependency on it. As I understand the 10.3 -> 10.4 upgrade, one only needs to specify the high-revision dependency if there is a GCC field. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
