First of course, you should make sure that the package is indeed fit 
for stable. This means you should have positive feedback from other 
users, the more, the better. Those shouldn't have just installed it, 
but actually used it. If you are in doubt, just ask on the fink-devel 
list what others think about a move for a given package.

To perform the actual move, you just copy from the unstable tree to 
the stable tree, and cvs add the "new" file to the stable tree. In 
addition, you may want to remove the old reviison.

One way is to use the CVS web interface, and download the desired 
file revision there. To do it from command line, first find out the 
revision of the package you want (e.g. using "cvs log" or again, CVS 
web). Say it's revision 1.4. Then cd to the dir where it used to bem 
and enter this:

  cvs update -r 1.4 TheFileName.info
