We don't want to be sued. If a packages doesn't have a license field, it won't get into the bindist. If it is under a restrictive license which forbids binary redistribution, it won't get into the bindist. If a package possibly infringes patents (like libgif does with the unisys patent), it

Oh, and another weird thing, several -pm packages I have built were erroring like crazy, then I tried building in a clean shell, and they suddenly worked, oh and I did try that for this one, too, but I will try again. On Wednesday, January 16, 2002, at 06:13 , Justin Hallett wrote: you seem

That is actually what I was thinking, but I am not very good at perl, so I was not sure that that method would work, and I saw the other in a test script that I knew did work, so I was inclined to go with what I know, and leave the refining to others who knew more. Thanks for the tip, Kyle

[Fink-devel] xfree86-server

I wonder if there is any reason why we should keep the xfree86-server package? Granted, it's supposed to be a stable base compared to rootless, but rootless runs rock stable for me, too. What do you think? Max -- --- Max Horn Software Developer

Well, some of us don't like downloading 56 MB CVS snapshots :) How about making xfree86-rootless a special case and keeping it constantly in sync with stable and the bindist? The apt version is only 3 MB, which is a LOT better. On Wednesday, January 16, 2002, at 09:44 PM, Max Horn wrote: I
