I've got enough of fink working on linux to access the package database; that's how the RSS feeds are generated. All you really need is a pre-rendered Fink/FinkVersion.pm file to make it happy. See http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/fink/experimental/rangerrick/scripts/rss-newpackages.pl?rev=1.23&view=auto if you want a look at the horrible things I'm doing with it. :) the 'use lib' bits at the top are how I make it find my FinkVersion.pm. -- Benjamin Reed a.k.a.
