Hi. If you want to report a problem to a package maintainer, you can either find the maintainer's email address in the info file, or you can get if from Fink's website by looking the package up in the "packages" section (and coverting "DOT" to "." in the given address). The texinfo-4.2 package was updated a while back so that the "Source:" field now points to Fink's website, where we have stored a copy of the sourcefile. Running "fink selfupdate-cvs" will always provide you with the most recent copies of info files, where we often make corrections like this. Finally, thanks for the success report on texinfo-4.3. I have been unable to get it to compile, which is why I haven't released a new version, but I will try again with the flags you suggest. -- Dave Morrison, texinfo maintainer ------------------------------------------------------- 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
