[Fink-devel] kexts in fink

2004-02-12 Thread Peter O'Gorman
Hi Rob, You brought up the subject of adding a kext to fink on #fink today. I belive I said "No!" or some such :) Well, lets actually discuss it, I have changed my opinion a little. If you want to package something that requires a kext then the kext would: 1) go in a new category, "naughty" or

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
