If there are things missing from a package, plaest at least let the maintainer know so it can be fixed, or even better, fix the info file and mail it to them so all they need to do is to check and add it :-) I know some maintainers do not need/know about everything in a package: some packages are maintained mainly because others depend on them, not because their maintainers really use them, and this would help everybody out. -chris zubrzycki - -- PGP public key: http://homepage.mac.com/beren/publickey.txt ID: 0xA2ABC070 Fingerprint: 26B0 BA6B A409 FA83 42B3 1688 FBF9 8232 A2AB C070 ======================================================== Isaac Newton understood the impact of the Apple. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
