If you do your own editing of fink package descriptions, in order to avoid conflicts with later updates, it is generally better to do this in the "local" distribution and leave the "stable" and "unstable" dists as they are. You should copy these files therefore to the /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo directory. > In despearation or impatience, this strategy should be usable in general > for any situation where you want to install a version of a package other > than what your Fink catalog suggests. The standard and recommended procedure is, of course, to write a message to the package maintainer. -- Martin _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
