Re: po4a again....

Hanspeter,

Got it, so it uses the highest distribution less than or equal to the current OS version.  (ie use of 11.3 or an 11.4 OS).

I am confused that I have an 11.3 distribution dot-info file but my 11.4 OS says it is using 11.0 dot-info file according to dump-info.

I had already installed po4a under 11.3 and so it does not need an update for 11.4, but I am then confused as to how dumpinfo is working?  If I do an install will it possibly use a different distribution than dump-info is showing?

This is why we have `Dist: 10.14` (for 10.14.0 through 10.14.4) and `Dist: 10.14.5` (for 10.14.5 through 10.14.6). On macOS11, `Dist: 11.0` is for 11.0 through 11.2.x (using /usr/bin/perl5.28). For 11.3 and up, Apple changed to /usr/bin/perl5.30, so 11.3 through 11.5beta should be using `Dist: 11.3`. If you updated to 11.4 and your Fink is now showing that it's on Dist:11.0, then you probably need to ./inject from a updated git pull of the Fink tree that knows about 11.4.
