The only documenation is the Fink Packaging Manual and the sometimes sparse comments in the fink program itself. Other fields to consider would be Pre-Depends and maybe Provides. I'd be wary of assuming fink doesn't automatically add other pkgs to the dependencies. Remember to process multiline forms, conditionals, and percent-expansions...might be easier to let fink (which understands its own files) parse the .info for you and just use the output of 'fink dumpinfo'. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
