You could make the `Type:` field be something like `Type: python (-py3.7 -py3.8)` and then %{Ni} will give you "boto3" but that'll cause problems in other parts. Also, you can't have an unvarianted SplitOff package name in a varianted package because then multiple python versions in the same .info would own the unvarianted package. > > Are you planning on having various python variants for boto3, or will it only ever be a single python version? What is the eventual goal of the unvarianted "boto3" package? It will be a package with python variants as is both. I was just wondering if there was a way to get the base “boto3” download directory/filename without hardwiring the name in again. Not a big deal, it just seemed like something that would exist. I don’t need it as an unvariated *package* but as a string substitution for the Source: directive. I have it working as it is. -Scott _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [email protected] List archive: https://sourceforge.net/p/fink/mailman/fink-users/ Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
