I'm working on updating the documentation (as ever), and I've noted
that Chapters 5 and 6 can be confusing to novice users (one mentioned
specifically to me that Chapter 6 is confusing).
Chapter 5 deals with the fink.conf file, which only affects the
behavior of the fink command. However, in t
well pkgs with updatepod in a splitoff wouldn't be a pm, it's be
something like net-snmp or a pkg with a perlmodule, now I'd rather
split this into two info files, not everyone has taken that approach.

Okay, I just did this in CVS (including a note that
Perhaps in a splitoff Type should be inheirited and a new _is_splitoff
key should be added (and decisions that used to be based on whether
_type=>splitoff would now look for _is_splitoff instead). I'm

Depending on the approach when programming, documentation can easily
come before a feature exists.
Generically, some methods involve first writing a short description of
what is to be done. Then a flowchart is made by referencing the
description, and sometimes the flowchart is much more detaile
there are a few discrepancies with this, in some functions it's
inherited like in the dep engine, but in others like remove it's not.
The reason for this is unknown to me, though I do believe it shouldn't
be inherited at all. It maybe have been this way for bootstrapping?

I haven't looked at the code or tested, but Type: perl in a split is
useless as type is for the buildprocess, splits aren't used till
install phase.
on the other hand updatePOD should be avail to splits but updatePOD now
uses type perl for the version. sorta chicken and the egg. so really

is out of date; could somebody who is familiar with the current script
rules please revise it? (just send the text here if you don't know how
do the xml edits)
Also, I detected some amiguities between Validation.pm and
