this might do as well for you: edit /sw/etc/fink.conf so it includes the following lines: KeepBuildDir: true KeepRootDir: true this will keep both: the build directory (where you'd type make) and the install directory (where fink installs the files before building a deb) hope that helps mathi

Hi Mathias I think it would be most efficient to add your info file to the package submission tracker: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=414256&group_id=17203 (linked from the fink homepage.) It wont get lost there... Chris. On Montag, März 17, 2003, at 10:31 Uhr, mathias meyer wrote: de

Hi Max. Well, my idea is that we do something fairly sensible, but then offer the user the chance to see the file we changed and edit it some more if they want. This non-CLI setup is mainly intended for people who haven't used the command line much and so will likely only have the default setup.

Hi Martin. Thanks for making the script. A couple of comments: 1) If the user is running csh not tcsh and doesn't have any dotfiles, then I think we want to create .cshrc NOT .tcshrc. Also, if there are no existing dotfiles then creating .cshrc is OK for tcsh users as well. And

That's what the .info and .patch files are for. When a package gets modified, the porting number gets changed (e.g. foo.1.2-3 goes to foo.1.2-4). THis is how to do it quasi-automatically with fink. On Mon, 17 Mar 2003, Adam Skwersky wrote: > Hi, > > That's not what I want. I just want to be abl
