You can leave it there indefinitely. At some point, those packages will move to stable, but the package descriptions will be the same, and it won't matter which one fink uses. Even later, there may be revised versions of those packages in stable, but those revised versions will have higher version numbers, and fink always uses the most recent version it can find (unless instructed otherwise). By the way, one of the ways that the fink user community can help is to look for packages in unstable (either updates of existing packages, or new packages), copy them to your "local" tree like you did, install them, and report your successes and failures directly to the fink maintainer (whose email address is always listed in the .info file). -- Dave _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
