In fact, bzip2 should be split off since it has a dylib and header... Yes, and a similar remark applies to several other essential packages like gettext and ncurses. However, making changes to essential packages without breaking things is tricky, to put it mildly, and I've yet to hear anyone

I've tried with both source installers I could find on the Fink page. Well, one is intended for 10.1 and one for 10.2, so that could be part of the problem. If you ran the bootstrap.sh found in the fink-0.4.1-full tarball, then you installed an old, 10.1, version of fink and you need to do the

Dear Fink Developers, As you may have seen in a few recent messages, there is a serious problem with the fink 0.4.1 binary installer which occurs if a user installs using the installer twice. The permissions on the root directory of the machine are altered, and the machine no longer boots! I've

[Fink-devel] whither openssl?

2002-10-20 Thread David R. Morrison
The time has come to decide the fate of the fink package for openssl in 10.2. It would be good to get this settled before too many things move to the stable tree. My vote is to remove the package, and to eliminate many other packages from the crypto tree which depend on it. In many cases, those

Ben Hines has made a nice list of packages which have not yet been moved to 10.2. Perhaps this is a good time for fink developers to make a list packages which should *not* be moved. 1) manconf should not be moved (I believe this is the upshot of previous discussions) 2) presumably,
