Ok, I see the instructions for that in the FAQ.
Is that file tree documented/explained anywhere? I'm starting to see --
by example only -- what various bits are used for, but am still a bit
fuzzy on what's what, what exactly fink looks for when it
builds/installs something, what exactly fink selfupdate does, what
exactly the undocumented (as far as I've been able to find) fink
selfupdate-cvs does differently, and so on. (Keep in mind I'm a user,
not a programmer, so things that are obvious to many of you are not
obvious to me.) I have found /sw/etc/fink.conf, for example, but only
because of its one brief mention in that same FAQ item. To these
ignorant eyes, /sw/fink/README appears to be rather out of date -- no?
Just rambling, I guess. I'm a fan of good docs {:-)].
