Aborting during indexing, especially the automatic indexing that happens after a selfupdate, is a Bad Idea because the automatic update of the Essential packages won't happen. We could make the warning louder and less buried. I *think* these files are not indexed (assumed to be in a broken state). And if there's a CVS conflict, we already know the file is in a broken state, so why bother even looking further and noticing the dup fields? We might be able to set a Finally message about it, but in the grand scheme of things, this is both a rare problem and not a serious one: if you're doing this kind of editing, you already (should at least!) know you're at risk for CVS conflicts. And so what? So there's a file that needs to be fixed before its contents can be used...that has zero effect beyond whatever packages you're hacking in that one file. dan -- Daniel Macks dma...@netspace.org http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks -- Register Now & Save for Velocity, the Web Performance & Operations Conference from O'Reilly Media.

[Fink-devel] fink vs modified info files
One minor nit that I have with 'fink selfupdate' is that is doesn't give sensible output if you have edited info files in your fink directories. It would be nice if fink could recognize the diff format that is produced in such cases and give the user a sensible warning instead of just Scanning package description filesWARNING: Unresolved CVS conflicts in "/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/sci/ccp4.info". WARNING: Repeated occurrence of field "depends" at line 61 of "/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/sci/ccp4.info". WARNING: Repeated occurrence of field "builddepends" at line 62 of "/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/sci/ccp4.info". WARNING: Repeated occurrence of field "buildconflicts" at line 63 of "/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/sci/ccp4.info". It should clearly state these are unresolved merges in the info file and request the user to solve them or delete the file and pull it down again.

[Fink-devel] rob braun is unable to continue as a package maintainer
Hi, bbraun is no longer able to maintain any fink packages due to other commitments. I will change maintainership to 'None' later on, his packages, which are very likely already quite out of date, are: cc65-c64.info cc65.info gnuboy.info xkobo.info xkobo.patch onyx.info swi-prolog.info fann.info beacon-pm581.info cgterm.info sidplay.info sidplay.patch xmms-sid.info xar.info dclock.info xdaliclock.info evilwm.info Peter -- Peter O'Gorman http://pogma.com -- Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensign option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects ___ Fink-devel mailing list Fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.devel
