I am trying to create a fink package. Where I am confused is on
permissions of the SW folder as I am new to Darwin & mac. I
installed fink as admin. This is what the file permissions look
like:

So before I start editing the package information file, what do I
change? I prefer to be logged in as “doug” rather than admin. I
need to edit stuff I am sure in the dists folder. If I am developing
under fink rather than just running it do I need to reinstall as user
“doug”?
You're going to want to place your personal info/patch files into
/sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo, so just make that directory (and
only that one) writeable by user 'doug'.
sudo mkdir -p /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo
sudo chown doug:doug /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo
You don't need to reinstall fink as 'doug' as long as 'doug' can use the
sudo command (eg is an Administrator). Then you can edit the your
working files as doug and to test an install, just use 'sudo fink blah
blah'.
