Re: High Sierra

Alexander,
     Out of the base packages in fink git, the ones requiring the
strict string handling fixes for 10.13 are...

libiconv
https://sourceforge.net/p/fink/package-submissions/5000/

tar
https://sourceforge.net/p/fink/package-submissions/4962/

gettext-tools/libgettextpo2-shlibs
https://sourceforge.net/p/fink/package-submissions/4955/

gzip
https://sourceforge.net/p/fink/package-submissions/4961/

cvs (already in 10.9-libc++ but not in fink git)
https://sourceforge.net/p/fink/package-submissions/4955/
