Re: fauxsu-0.9.1-1 fails to build on 10.9

Hey!

Sorry about all the trouble; I'm not particularly knowledgeable about the
fink packaging best practices.
Matthias has been advising me in this regard, but I do tend to come up with
creative non-solutions to problems that are better fixed elsewhere.

The scripts generally work around build system deficiencies that would
probably be better fixed upstream.

The reason for the /tmp dance is that Theos, the build system
aforementioned, likes to trash its staging/destination directory before it
puts together a sysroot (as it's designed more for building Debian packages
than installing onto a live system.)

I'll put together a more comprehensive fix for these issues. Mind if I run
it by you on this thread? Thanks.

Want excitement?
Manually upgrade your production database.
When you want reliability, choose Perforce
Perforce version control. Predictably reliable.
