Please stop using the old obsolete way to specify multi line fields. For example, don't write PatchScript: sed 's|@PREFIX@|%p|g' < %a/%f.patch | patch -p1 mkdir ldap ln -s %p/lib ldap/libraries ln -s %p/include ldap/include but rather use PatchScript: << sed 's|@PREFIX@|%p|g' < %a/%f.p

[Fink-devel] How to use the package validator

2002-01-26 Thread Max Horn
Sorry, should have mentioned this in the last post. The validator can validate .info and .deb files (though .deb checking isn't doing much currently). You have to specify a concret file. E.g. fink check myfoo-1.0-1.info or fink validate /sw/fink/debs/myfoo-1.0-1_darwin-powerpc.deb If y

Thanks, Max, for doing all of this package validation stuff. I have one question though. For packages of type "nosource" or "bundle," do we really want a license field? If so, what should the rules be about that license field? Since we are not really redistributing anything with those packages

I have just commited a bunch of changes. Nothing really fundamental, mainly updated the docs/man page, and implemented the --verbose/-v & --quiet/-q options. Also, --help and the man page now list & explain all available options. Maybe most importanly, I greatly enhanced the package validator.

Hi Martin. Yes, geomview depends on lesstif too, so presumably this is again the same problem. Has anybody had any trouble with any package other than those which depend on lesstif? (I just compiled a list: ddd, nedit, geomview, grace, xephem, mgv, amaya, xbae). Ultimately, it would be nice to
