and then we should update all of our BuildDepends: on x11 to instead BuildDepends: on x11-dev.
This looks like the correct solution. But it would mean to change a *lot* of packages. Right now a quick grep shows more than 250 packages in 10.2/stable/main alone that Depend (not BuildDepend) on x11. Can your virtuals have a BuildDependsOnly?
Hm, not without major changes to the way we do virtuals; right now it just spits out a dpkg-compatible fake package, with Provides:.
Of course, BuildDependsOnly isn't enforced at the moment, so I suppose it doesn't matter. =D
I've gone ahead and implemented what I posted earlier in this thread in fink cvs. We'll need to figure out how to go about implementing this though.
We'll basically need to change anything with a BuildDepends: on x11 to "BuildDepends: x11-dev, fink (>= 0.18.0-1)" (or whatever fink release we end up putting out to support this).
Max, David, any comments on this?
