Friends - I am thinking about tackling (once more) the idea of adding TeXLive to Fink (unless someone is already working on it -- I haven't been reading the posts recently); but there is a problem standing in my way. TeXLive is distributed as a .tar.lzma file, and needs lzma to unpack it.

When I tried to do something like this I was shot down; told that the fink core team was reconsidering the whole issue of "system-" packages, and that, specifically, system-texlive was NOT going to happen. I then started an effort to package TeX Live in such a way as to make it fink-friend

Friends - Poly/ML is an implementation of the ML programming language. As such, it has an interpreter which basically just loads the Poly/ML library and runs it. It is possible to have a program that uses the Poly/ML library but doesn't need the interpreter. The current version of Poly/ML

No, you can't use %p in a patch file. The preferred method, apparently, is to put something like: @PREFIX@ in the patch file where you would want %p, then use: PatchScript: sed 's|@PREFIX@|%p|g' <%a/%n.patch | patch -p1 in your .info file. See the packaging manual. Peace - John On Sep 18,
