If you are using any fink package on 10.2 that is not listed in "stable" in FinkCommander or http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/index.php (current-stable), please let the maintainer know. We're not asking for a full QA report or even testing of every feature, "I tried this and it seems to work fine" is good enough for me.Actually, that was very contraproductive, at least for me... I got a couple dozen of mails reporting on packages *in stable*. Also, I am actually interested only in things that *work* well. As long as I doN't get a build error report, I of course can assume it builds well, esp. if I get positive *usage* feedback. But what use is a package that builds fine but doesn't work at all... hm.
Maybe we should ask the fink commander author to restrict reports only on packages that are actually *not* in stable? Or even if it is in stable, refuse if the last CVS update is more than a week ago... I am really sick of getting mails that tell me "I didn't use it much, but (gettext|dpkg|apt|...) seem to work fine here".
