As it exists now, there is a -py22 version and a -py23 version, for the respective versions of Python. There's also a placeholder pygtk package that depends on either the -py22 version or the -py23 version. (It's of type: bundle.) I'm trying to combine this all into one package... Is there a way to only offer the pygtk-py22 and pygtk-py23 variants, and not a base pygtk package? That's probably the best approach. There are very few times when having an language-unversioned bundle for a library is useful. OTOH, if you're going to abolish a package, look through the current dists for anything that depends on it, as all of these will need to be updated. This also givs you an opportunity to see if the thing really is needed...maybe someone uses it when an actual -pyXX variant would be more correct, so you wind up improving other pkgs along the way. Alrighty. Thanks for the help, David and Dan. I don't think I made it clear in my original email, but what I was attempting to also ask is if I can provide the pygtk-py23 and pygtk-py22 variants from the same package description file, but not allow the straight pygtk package to be installed? (i.e. pygtk-py22 and pygtk-py23 are valid packages, but pygtk isn't *actually* an available package)... if that makes any sense. Thanks! PGP.sig Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Check out the pyserial-py.info file for an example (unstable/main/finkinfo/libs/pyserial-py.info) and compare it what you get from 'fink list pyserial'.

Just get rid of the pygtk package description file and that package will cease to be available:) Asserting pygtk-pyXX Conflicts/Replaces:pygtk in both pygtk-pyXX will automatically remove an existing pygtk pkg when a user updates to this new -pyXX. Since the old pygtk does not Conflicts/Replaces the -pyXX pkgs, it will be harder for them to go back to the pygtk way. Fink processes variants via a simple template system; there's no automagical generation of a pygtk pkg when pygtk-pyXX forms are defined, if that was your concern. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.

Re: [Fink-devel] freeglut package

Since it breaks some cases where glut works and is supposed to be interchangeable it should set the compatibility version to the same thing as glut.
