I also set up a local binary distribution following these
instructions -- but after some investigation, it seems that there is
no way to have multiple source repositories. That is, apt supports
the notion of multiple repositories -- which are all searched by
apt. Fink, however, only permits a single fink source repository
-- so that it is not possible to set up an "experimental" site ( to
complement stable and unstable) for anything but the binary packages.
Have I misunderstood the capabilities of Fink? I would like to set
up a repository containing Cocoa/Aqua applications (as the fink
main repository doesn't include any) -- but I cannot see any way of
configuring the clients to access it -- except for binary packages.
If this is in fact the current state of Fink, I would be willing to
make an attempt to enhance fink to allow multiple source
repositories. Is this something that would be viewed as helpful?
Would anybody be interested in working with me on this?
Thanks,

Hi Folks:
I've set up a binary distribution server following the directions
here: http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/advanced/bindist.php
I set this up while running 10.3.x and am now running 10.4.1.
Users who have 10.4.x experience no problems
Users who are still on 10.3.x cannot access my debian packages in
the 10.3 trees. Is there anything different they should put in
their /sw/etc/apt/sources.list files or is there anything I can do
on the server side to make this work for them?
Many thanks.
Bill Scott
