This way, building the non-obsolete package does not cause fink-obsolete-packages to be installed even though you don't use any obsolete splitoffs. > > Example: My package "wireshark" has an obsolete splitoff "wireshark-ssl". In previous versions, whenever you updated wireshark, it would also install fink-obsolete-packages, even though wireshark itself is not obsolete. > > In the new 1.6.6-1 release, I performed the change described above. Now, updating wireshark does not cause fink-obsolete-packages to be installed. Only trying to install or update the obsolete wireshark-ssl splitoff will do that. > > > Any objections to me proposing that to a wider audience on fink-devel? > > > Cheers, > Max > That sounds like a good idea to me. It sounds like a good way to avoid having extra .info files for obsolete stub packages _and_ not having new packages bring in fink-obsolete-packages. :-) -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison http://finkakh.wordpress.com/2012/02/21/got-job/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ fink-core mailing list [email protected] List archive: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.core Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-core
