Follow these steps instead: http://www.finkproject.org/doc/cvsaccess/index.php In summary, it's a cvs checkout of the fink module followed by ./ inject.pl. There's a drawback, though: the only way to update fink (the package manager) will be running cvs update (or a fresh cvs checkout) and ./ inject.pl again -- unless the latest package manager version is 0.30. In other words, fink selfupdate won't update fink itself. If you ever need to downgrade the installation to a released version (e.g. fink-0.29.10-41), run fink install fink-0.29.10-41 then remove /sw/fink/10.4/local/injected (and the corresponding Trees entry in fink.conf), and run fink index fink scanpackages Technically: when a CVS checkout is injected, Fink creates a local/ injected tree with a fink.info file containing Package: fink Version: 0.29.99.cvs Revision: timestamp Hence if you have, say, fink-0.29.10-41 and inject a CVS checkout, your fink version will be 0.29.99.cvs, greater than any (well, most) other 0.29.* version(s). The solution is to get rid of the local/ injected tree.
