Wouldn't this be way too privacy-infringing? I would personally draw the line to: - don't send anything identifying the user (no email ids etc.) - don't send anything about his/her environment (that would be potentially identifying, too) We all know there's plenty of privacy-concerned

Maybe you have a sticky tag from checking out a specific version? Look at cvs stat VERSION. I already did a fresh check out, so cannot test that anymore. Anyway, cvs up -A should release the sticky tags and give you HEAD. Hmmm, that's a new variation ;-) - Koen.

Dear Asko. As someone who watches the legal side of what Fink is doing I can assure you that we cannot retain any information which would enable us to identify the user. Legally that would put too many obligations on us and to have significant statistics that is not necessary. However,

[Fink-devel] PostRmScript does it job after upgrading - sequence is wrong

Dear Developers, I am a maintainer for a programme, CcpNmr, which installs minor updates, like Webmin, to its point release through the user interface. Hence, when an upgrade is made, from one point release to another, dpkg does not remove the directory. To clear it up, I have a

Dear Fink Developers, dear Sylvain I set all packages previously maintained by Sylvain Cuaz to unmaintained. Sylvain: We appreciate all the work you have done for Fink and sure do hope that you are coming back! Please feel free to take over those packages again once you have more time.

Personally, my one wish for Fink is better maintenance of FinkCommander. I would like to see some more of the Fink functionality moved into FinkCommander. I know FinkCommander is officially outside the Fink suite, but it shouldn't be. For anyone new to open source on the Mac, having a GUI
