This package only works on PowerPC Mac OS X 10.4.11: I don't currently have any Intel based Macs to test it on... The three .info files are meant to supplement the existing system-tetex .info file rather than an attempt to replace it... Fink's Core would need to be modified so that its menu system has a system-texlive option available in order for this to work properly...

    This isn't a revision of a package which exists in the Fink distribution.

    The virtual dependency menus which specify alternative packages are set up by specifying alternative dependency choices in individual packages. No modification to fink is needed.

    That was a bit unclear. :-)

    Basically, the choices (let's call them A1, A2, A3) that show up to satisfy a virtual dependency when you build another package, call it B, are set in two ways:

    1) A1, A2, A3 all have, say, Provides: A, and B (Build)Depends on A.

    2) B carries an explicit (Build)Depends: A1|A2|A3

    So no modification is needed to fink.

    Also: we generally don't stipulate Architecture/OS version restrictions in advance. Most maintainers don't have all platforms available, and so we tend to assume that a package will work on all OS versions / architectures until determined otherwise.
