[Fink-devel] readline ready for stable?

2002-03-17 Thread Max Horn
For me, the new readline-shlibs has worked quite fine for some time now. Can others confirm this? If yes, it should be moved ASAP to stable since other packages are pending simple because they now depend on readline-shlibs... Max -- --- Max Horn

2002-03-17 Thread David R. Morrison

I changed some UI stuff in the GroupcChat preference dialog, the french localization needs to be updated for that. Also, it seems that GroupChat hasn't yet been localized to Spanish - Cesar, can you do that, would be nice to have it for the near release. Cheers, Max --

[Fink-devel] feedback on unstable packages

Dear Fink Developers, I noticed that you were about to solicit feedback regarding unstable packages so I decided to take a risk and enable the unstable directory via /sw/etc/fink.conf and then upgrade all my packages (using source update as of today). I am not entirely sure which of these are
