Your analysis is correct: it was intentional that xsane be masked from 10.6. To see why, check out the top two entries on http://fink.cvs.sourceforge.net/fink/dists/10.4/stable/main/finkinfo/graphics/xsane.info which indicate that the issues were not xsane itself (as far as is known at this point) but with a couple of its dependencies. However, according to http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/libusb libusb has now been updated to work on 10.6/i386 and 10.6/x86_64, and according to http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/libgphoto2-shlibs libgphoto2 will also work now, so in principle xsane could be made available on 10.6 now--after we verify that _it_ works there, of course. - -- Alexander Hansen Fink User Liaison -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkv+dUsACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ/iEgCfVFVJcZLFnbxZmjDUdqjKgSqW AIsAn0j0FOllwFBqLXofnzEc2fQrYmYP =BZwN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
