This would be easy enough to do by implementing the tableViewSelectionDidChange: delegate method. As a user, I would find it annoying, but it could be an option. Perhaps parsing the info returned by 'fink describe package' would also be useful. [snip] I don't think I'll be doing this one any time soon. Too much work for too little return compared to the other changes I have in mind. But as I've said before, other developers are welcome to join in. : ) One thing that might also be nice is to display the dependencies of a package. (Again, not by default... Perhaps on a different 'level'), but as Fink currently doesn't output this information in 'fink describe', that would be a bit difficult... I would like this a lot, and it will be easy if and when the Objective-C perl bridge becomes available. At the moment, it would require a call to the resolve_depends method for PkgVersion objects from a custom perl script. I use a custom script now to gather most of the information from the table, but it's kind of a pain for various reasons, and I will probably eliminate it now that fink list offers the -t option. So I'll probably hold off until the bridge it ready. Thanks, again.

Since it's a bit tricky (err, impossible) to remove directories from CVS, you should file a support request with SourceForge, telling them your project name and that you want them to remove that dir again, and they'll do it within 24-72 hours (if not, tell me, and I talk to some of my friends there). Done. Thanks, Max. I'd like to make sure I avoid this problem in the future, so I have a question for the group. Once SourceForge support removes the directory from the repository, can I safely commit in the future without first moving build out of the Project Builder folder? My (obviously limited) understanding is that a file or directory not already in a cvs repository needs to be put there with the add command before it will be included in future commits. ___ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel

Seems as if Preferences.nib is missing from CVS, I can't compile it without that. Cheers, Max -- --- Max Horn Software Developer email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] phone: (+49) 6151-494890 ___ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel

My suggestion is to trash your local build directory (this is harmless, and similiar to the effect of Clean All. But this is mostly of concern if you also want to use CVS from the command line.

This may take some tweaking on Fink's behalf, though... As it sometimes takes a while for Fink to retrieve the information. Perhaps parsing the info returned by 'fink describe package' would also be useful. Some users probably don't want to view the information in DescPort, DescPackaging and DescUsage, so maybe there should be an option to somehow only include the DescDetail field in the bottom pane. (I'm not sure how this would be done, though... Fink doesn't label the fields in its output...) You could then have an option somewhere to increase or descrease the amount of information given for packages (like you can do with dselect... Press 'I' with a package selected and it will switch between different levels of information.) One thing that might also be nice is to display the dependencies of a package. (Again, not by default...
