till next 3 or 4 perl versions in fink, and next 3 or 4 versions of this pkg (in so many perl-versions), and nobody knows (as already now...) what supersedes what, and what is compatible with what ? And how will possible dependencies choose the right alternative ? Better maybe to scrap the pkg altogether then, if we know that current (and presumably future) perl pkgs will contain some version of it, and if there is no current dependency, and nobody expresses any specific current need for this pkg... [ Too bad fink doesn't have a 'nice' procedure for scrapping pkgs, i.e., like putting info, patch, and deb files _ if some family member is installed _ into a corresponding subdir of %p/fink/dists/local/attic _ with a msg like : "This pkg is henceforth under your own responsibility _ either remove the pkg, and the info, patch, and deb files yourself, or you're your own maintainer for it -- with whatever defects it may have." ] JF ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [email protected] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.devel
