Dear Fink Developers,

I've recently known that you are dying for positive feedback for packages in the unstable tree. I believe I have a bunch of stories to tell. I'm wondering, though, if there is a *systematic* way to know which packages in my installation are unstable rather than checking all the packages installed on my machine each by each on the Fink web page? Or packages that dselect classify as "obsolete/local unclassified packages" are such packages?

If so, the following are the unstable packages that compiled (and seem to be working) on my PowerBook G3 (1998 Wallstreet 256MHz) running 10.2.2. Fink 0.5.0a-cvs, with package manager 0.11.1.

*** ? ? afterstep 1.8.11-1 <none>
*** ? ? aterm 0.4.2-2 <none>
*** ? ? bsdmktemp 1.4-1 <none>
*** ? ? cups-dev 1.1.15-1 <none>
*** ? ? deborphan 1.0-1 <none>
*** ? ? f2py 2.13.175-12 <none>
*** ? ? fondu 021023-1 <none>
*** ? ? gengetopt 2.7.1-1 <none>
*** ? ? gnuplot-py 1.6-1 <none>
*** ? ? hfspax 1.0fc4-1 <none>

*** ? ? plotutils-de 2.4.1-5 <none>
*** ? ? plotutils-sh 2.4.1-5 <none>
*** ? ? postgresql-python 7.2.3-2 <none>
*** ? ? python-biggles 1.6.3-1 <none>
*** ? ? python-mode 4.6.18.2-1 <none>
*-- ? ? rpy 0.3-1 <none>
*** ? ? scientificpython 2.4-2 <none>
*** ? ? smalleiffel 20020507-1 <none>
*** ? ? t1utils 1.26-1 <none>
*** ? ? windowmaker 0.80.1-2 <none>
*** ? ? windowmaker-shlibs 0.80.1-2 <none>

I've not tested all of them extensively, but I'm using Aterm, Mozilla-browser, Emacs-python-mode, RPy, ScientificPython, WindowMaker on daily basis and confirmed they are working perfectly.

Thanks again for your excellent work, you Fink guys!
Many users are proud of you.

Best wishes,
Kow
