Hi there, I am brand new to this list. I am creating a new .info file for the inform z-machine compiler for interactive fiction, and I have two questions. One procedural and another technical.
First, what is the standard procedure for testing and certifying a .info file for inclusion in the standard fink distribution? I have the .info and .patch files working, but it's probably minimal. For example, I believe I should probably add some more mirrors. I'm looking for help with the last mile. Second, I'm having trouble with the UpdateConfigGuessInDirs field. If I don't include it as the last field in the .info file, it seems to grab extra lines from the next fields. This input: UpdateConfigGuessInDirs: config CompileScript: ./configure %c make produces this when it runs: Information about 760 packages read in 5 seconds. mkdir -p /sw/src/inform-6.21.2-1 tar -xzf /sw/src/inform-6.21.2.tar.gz cp -f /sw/lib/fink/update/config.guess config cp -f /sw/lib/fink/update/config.sub config cp -f /sw/lib/fink/update/config.guess ./configure cp -f /sw/lib/fink/update/config.sub ./configure cp -f /sw/lib/fink/update/config.guess --prefix=/sw cp: --prefix=/sw: No such file or directory ### cp failed, exit code 1 Failed: patching inform-6.21.2-1 failed If I move the UpdateConfigGuessInDirs field to the end of the file, everything works fine. Is this a bug in my .info file, or a bug with fink? Oh, I guess I have a third question. I'm having a little trouble figuring out what to put in the License field. The author includes a fairly liberal distribution property, but I'm not sure which of the choices is most appropriate.
