[Fink-devel] Maintaining multiple .info files

[Fink-devel] 5000 packages down to 800?

2003-11-11 Thread Randal L. Schwartz
Hmm. On the rsync update this morning, fink was updated, said something about switching to 10.3, and now my 5000 packages are down to 800. Did the latest update get rid of "unstable"? I can't remember where I enabled that. Or is the Right Thing Happening? -- Randal L. Schwartz - Stonehenge C

Yo folks, I think it would be preferable to move any discussions about commits mails from fink-commits to fink-devel. They are very easy to miss between the dozens of commit mails we get all the time. As such, I've removed the special posting exceptions for everybody who had them before. Pleas
