Updating the web docs in sync with adding features fink cvs is problematic because we don't want to 'document' things on the web that aren't released yet. We could use branches for that if the doc maintainers wanted to.

I requested feedback on these messages - repeatedly. I said I didn't think they were perfect - repeatedly. There was basically no response. Max gave a couple notes.
Thus, no complaints or 'I consider myself of reasonable intelligence' snarkiness allowed.
The manpages were definitely updated with info on the new mastering setup, but possibly not the web pages.

I consider myself of reasonable intelligence, and I haven't the slightest clue yet what it means. Nor would I even know where to go to find out the docs for it. Nor would I expect the docs to be there given the previous experience with other undocumented parts of fink. :(
Personally I do think that Fink is very well documented for an Open Source project where no one really likes to write documentation. Since this should be a feature of only unstable I do not expect it to be documented either. All a greater scheme? evil plot? Well no, just part of our effort to create a set of distfile mirrors.
I am sure it will be added to the docu asap.
- we may race and we may run, but we can not undo what has been done.
