Ok, thanks for your reply. Bas
Dear Fink developers,
I'm currently trying to write a few packages for extensions for scsh
(the Scheme Shell). To summarize quickly, scsh is a scripting language
similar to Perl/Python/Ruby/etc. for which some libraries, which I'll
call modules below, exist. I'd like to write Fink packages for the
Dear Fink developers,
Just a quick note to tell you that the link pointing to the Debian
manual about package versions, found in section 5.2 of the Fink
packaging manual, is broken. It currently points to:

but should (IMO) point to:

Well, I do not view it that way, of course :-).
Scsh does *not* depend on dlcompat, it works perfectly well without
it. Howe
I don't think this has been discussed here before, so...
I wrote a fink package for "scsh", a Scheme Unix shell, which is now
in stable. I used this package myself to install scsh, and I had
reports from other people that it works fine. Then one day, a friend
of mine who needed "scsh", installed F
Dear Fink maintainers,
I have received one report that my "scsh" package, currently in
unstable, works correctly.
I personally used it to install scsh on my machine after the 10.2
upgrade, and it works well, even on 10.2.2 now (I use scsh daily).
I realise that one report (apart from mine) might

I have just installed the recode-3.6-6 package (currently in unstable)
under Mac OS X 10.2.2, and it apparently works well: I was able to

Michel.
