Ah, I think I've got most of the bootstrap issue sorted out now. Sorry for the confusion. I had thought that we didn't allow Fink to bootstrap into /opt/local. It appears that we currently do allow that, however, but the script we use to check the build integrity hardcodes that location as prohibited. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [email protected] List archive: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.macosx.fink.user Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
