Dear Fink Developers,

I think it is far too tedious to manually select all packages everytime fink. Also, I prefer installings this in one go, rather than continously finding a package that I may need (which could happen at a bad occasions, e.g. when Internet it is not availabe, while at a conference, in a train...).

Therefore a suggestion: Why not add a virtual package called "stable- all" or just "stable-base" or similar that installs ALL fink packages. I suggest having several virtual packages in fact:

 - stable-minimal
 - stable-medium-with-x11
 - stable-medium-without-x11
 - stable-medium-gnome
 - stable-medium-kde
 - stable-maximal

etc. I myself would do a nightly "fink install stable-maximal" once and for all.

Best Wishes,
Johan Glimming
