I found a file
/sw/src/evolution-1.4.6.tar.bz2
that looks like a disk image. Is this the file that I am looking for? If so, where would you recommend that I store it on my hard drive? Should I put it in the /sw directory or somewhere else? When I uncompress, it is asking me where do I want to store it.
thx RLC
Umm...no.
That's a source archive and you need to leave it where it is.
You would install it via the "Source -> Install" from Fink Commander--you must have XCode installed.

Hi all, I am trying to download evolution 1.4.6-10, but there doesn't appear to be a stable binary version according to fink commander. What do I need to do to get a stable binary version of evolution?
thx RLC
"stable" in this case is basically an internal classification. To do literally what you asked would require
1) evolution and all of its dependencies would have to be moved over to
the stable tree by its maintainer. This could be done--a fair number
of people use it and I'm not entirely sure why it was never moved over.
2) A new binary distribution would have to be made. This happens only
when major changes to the whole Fink system occur.
However, you're free to install it from source yourself:
