Dear friends,
First, thanks for working on Fink. I am a Debian fan and I appreciate
the port of apt-get system to Mac OS X.
Presently, I contribute to OpenSC smartcard project and we may be
interested to use Fink to release packages.
Here are some newbee question as regards Fink development.
1) OpenSSL 1.0
We would like to release a Fink OpenSSL 1.0 package, as it brings
enhancement in crypto. Are there guidelines? Are you prepared to accept
an OpenSSL 1.0 package in unstable?
2) Binary packages for Mac OS X 10.5 PPC
I tried Fink, but there was no suitable repository for Mac OS X 10.5
PPC. Is this normal?
3) Binary installer
Is it possible to create self-installing package for Mac OS X out of
Fink packages? Just for my personal knowledge. I guess the answer is no.
4) OpenSSH packages for Fink are outdated. Latest OpenSSH 5.5p1 offers
smartcard support. We would like to use it under Mac OS X. Would you
accept an OpenSSH 5.5p1 package in unstable?
Just one last remark. For me Debian user for more than 10 years, I had
difficulties to understand the notion of Fink as regards apt-get. Still
I don't understand why there are two configurations files: fink.conf
and /sw/etc/apt/sources.list and apt.conf. But I may catch-up in the
future...
Kind regards,
Jean-Michel Pouré
