Go for it. The standard practice since 10.7 came out has been: 1) Unmaintained packages can be added to 10.7/ as long as all of their dependencies are available. 2) Maintained packages can be added by other than the maintainer freely if they don't require any modifications--a note is nice, though. 3) For maintained packages that need a newer version or significant modifications in the .info/.patch to work on 10.7 or 10.8, it's best to get permission from the maintainer--and add it if you don't hear anything in 72 hours. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
