Good point about "lack of demand". After I wrote the initial email, I poked around to see how other people were packaging it, and noted the following: * nothing really depends on it, so it's not as useful as, say, packaging a library in Fink * the SDCC sf.net site now provides universal binaries for OS X, despite it not being listed as a "supported platform" on some of their documentation pages * Debian has categorized it as "non-free" due to conflicting licenses for some of the components. We could probably re-add the package with a License: Restrictive field, but I don't think it's worth the effort. So in case anyone runs across this after searching for SDCC in Fink, here's a link directly to the SF.net download page: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=599 -- - Charles Lepple ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
