Why isn't the order of Trees important?
This has annoyed me, too. I seem to remember someone saying that it is now, since one of the recent shakeups, the *reverse* order of the Trees line that is used. If true, I would consider this a serious bug.
Fink always picks the newest epoch/version/revision tuple regardless of tree order. The only time tree order matters is if you somehow happen to have 2 different versions of the same versioned package in different trees (which shouldn't happen unless you messed with a package and put it in local, in which case you reap what you sow).
I hadn't read Randal's message completely, sorry. Of course, if you have a higher version-revision anywhere, it will be used.
I was talking about the other situation where you just want to try a small modification of the latest version. It used to be possible to copy it into local, modify it there, and have it used by fink automatically. I would not call this "messing", but a consistent use of the Trees line. Unfortunately, it doesn't work any more.
