The fink code update to handle the new license cases has been added to fink’s master as well as the release branch (branch_0_39), so this is now available from github, via git checkouts, etc. For people who want to test this out for their packages, but don’t always live on the bleeding edge and use git master, I recommend using branch_0_39, because you can then use “fink selfupdate” to get newer fink releases as usual. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list Fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net List archive: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.devel Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
