We left it on the old values on purpose, for backward compatibility. 
A feature version will change the default to auto.

That's good... but i still think the builtin list should default to 
"auto" width. I can't imagine why someone would want blank space on 
the right side of their terminal window.

Hmm, i like the Fink list width fix, but shouldn't it default to 
"auto"? Having to add -w=auto to every list command is kinda silly.

[Fink-devel] ANN: Fink Package Manager 0.9.9 released

[Max Horn]

A new version of the Fink package manager, 0.9.9, has just been 
release. It's currently in the unstable tree, however, we hope that 
we will get a lot of feedback on it quickly so that it can be moved 
to stable soon. For this reason we would like to urge everybody using 
Fink's unstable-CVS to update to this new version as soon as possible.

The new package manager adds a quite some new things and bug fixes, 
including one key feature (splitoffs) that will soon be used by many 
packages. More information can be found in the packaging docs 


An overview of the changes:

* added new packaging feature: splitoffs
* added support for "axel" as a download method
* added the ability to resume partial downloads (doesn't work with axel)
* improved the "fink list" command (enter "fink list --help" to learn more)
* improved the "fink appropos" command
* improved man page
* when the user is prompted to choose between alternate packages, Fink now
   displays a brief description for each choice
* extended list of package fields in which percent expansion is done
* fixed a bug preventing Fink to work on pure Darwin
* fixed a bug related to packages with a "+" in their name
* fixed URL of SourceForge's gnome mirror
* various other minor tweaks & fixes


If you use unstable-CVS, please update to this new version. You can 
do it with these two consecutive commands:
   fink selfupdate-cvs
   fink update fink


Cheers,

Max
