I prefer the latter, as I have been a stable-using from-source Fink user, and I like that Fink does all the hunting for me. I just want to make sure that, before I do `fink selfupdate-cvs`, I don't end up shooting myself in the foot -- on this machine I like to use the stable packages. Forgive me for not really understanding what `fink selfupdate-cvs` does, but will I still be able to update to the stable versions of packages? Or does this set me up to always update from cvs?
