But I do NOT have unstable enabled in my fink.conf, yet unstable packages show up. Which is why I want a way to distinguish between them in the fink listing. [/sw/etc] root# cat fink.conf # Fink configuration, initially created by bootstrap.pl Basepath: /sw RootMethod: sudo Trees: local/main stable/main stable/crypto Mirror-gimp: ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub Mirror-gnome: ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/ Mirror-gnu: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu MirrorContinent: nam MirrorCountry: nam-us ProxyPassiveFTP: true Verbose: false SelfUpdateNoCVS: true [/sw/etc] root# fink list|grep bitch bitchx 1.0c18-3 IRC client bitchx is only in unstable, correct? I do not have unstable in my fink.conf file, correct? Yet it still shows up in fink list. -Rich
