Hu? What? I think that mysql, apachae, bash, db, freetype2, gimp, glib, gnome, gtk, orbit, qt3 and xfree86 all are quite stable... or do you think otherwise? >So what's your definition of stable as far as Fink is concerned? >Mine would be that the software runs as well on MacOS X as it does >on Linux or *BSD or wherever else its been ported. More or less the same definition as for debian. I.e. besides the fact that the software should run stable (meaning, it shouldn't crash, and it shouldn't do nasty things to your data, like erasing your HD), the package must be stable as well. That means it must install flawlessly on all sorts of machines, not produce unexpeceted errors, comply to the policy, etc. Max -- ----------------------------------------------- Max Horn Software Developer email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> phone: (+49) 6151-494890 _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
