Martin,
Thanks for your input. I did a typo, I meant 2.0-11, not 2.1. I
modified the bison.info file on my hard disk's unstable directory to
contain the newer version. I received an email today giving me a howto
link on the fink home page. To solve the problem, I just did a number
change for the version number and I put the new MD5. It installed
properly. Now, time to tame the other packages...
Cheers,
Frank

Hello,
I was hoping somebody would point me to a faq on the net. I have a
package, bison, that needs to be installed because it's required by
another bigger package on my Mac 10.3. The bigger package wants
version 2.1 while the fink info and patch files for bison have
version 1.35 in the /sw/fink/10.3/XXX/main/finkinfo/devel/ where XXX
is stable and unstable.
Small correction: 10.3/unstable has bison-2.0-11. Upgrading this to
2.1 is probably not very difficult. Normally, if you succeed, you
would then try to persuade the maintainer to update the package. The
maintainer of this particular package has been difficult to join
recently, however.
