[Fink-devel] Fink GUI Security Implementation

[Kyle M. <mrm...@ma...>]

I am working on a GUI for Fink, one of several that will need to be 
merged in the end.  Mine is in Java, the only language I really know.  I 
have most everything completely done, except for two little problems.  
In reading the data from wget I can just read the lines one at a time 
through a InputStream, but curl erases the status before redisplaying 
it.  Is this done using ###INFO### (pause) \b\b\b\b.....\b\b\b 
###NEWINFO### or something else, I'd like to know so i can work 
accordingly.  Preferably, if someone who can read the c or cpp source 
could look this up, because I am not very familiar with those 
languages.  Also, I am unsure how to operate the Security.framework 
libraries, If someone who knows how in obj-c can provide info, I can 
translate this to Java and finish up the parts needing authorization so 
that the program does not need to be run as root.

Thanks for any help in advance,
