I know about fink validate. I've read the policy on shared libraries, so I think I would know what to look for in a package that builds them, but I'm not sure if that's what you are referring to. Maybe you mean that in general one should check that all dependencies are mentioned in the appropriate Depends or BuildDepends field?

[Fink-devel] future of Fink
The discussion earlier, plus some private emails I received, got me thinking some more about what Fink needs at this point. Actually, it's not *just* that we need volunteers; we need a more effective way of using the talents of people who are willing to volunteer. Just to give one example: the way that most of us in the Fink developer group got there was that we made some packages, submitted them to Fink, and eventually it became less trouble for the Fink-ers to give us commit access than to process our submissions. That procedure is not working so well right now, because the current Fink developers haven't found the time to keep up with all of the submissions. This means that the talents of many people are going unrecognized and unacknowledged, and of course after a while they drop out. Please don't drop out, if this describes you! We'll try to work out better ways of incorporating your efforts into Fink. -- Dave --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Get the new Palm Tungsten T handheld.

I joined fink for the sole purpose of helping and now I think I found a way to do that. I will do my very best and surely invest more than 20 years of experience into this project, I will try to make this more efficient than it already is, but I will NEED your help. My first question is: Would you all be willing to fill out a survey? The survey would ask some questions such as: Who you are What your main interest is What interests you in fink (packaging, documentation, coding etc etc) That would help me to determine, what is most suited within fink for you. - -d -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (Darwin) iD8DBQE94qdGiW/Ta/pxHPQRA70JAJ9OKJDZVGFk2XduG3Ww0cAup9qCDACfbbaL fzO5UpK5Me+hfQq6WPLnR3U= =Z2jq -END PGP SIGNATURE- --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Get the new Palm Tungsten T handheld.
