The fact that a package builds elsewhere for your system really just indicates that it isn't completely impossible to do it. Also, our "stable" or "unstable" designations were completely independent of how upstream regarded a release. They only referred how well a package was tested in Fink, and we aren't currently using 'unstable' at all. Fink requires a description file for how to build a package for each OS X version. Some OS versions share descriptions, but 10.7 and later don't share descriptions with 10.6 and earlier. What happened here is that the maintainer never told us to move the package when 10.7 came out. We were only migrating packages which were known to build, and apparently nobody else had asked about it. I was able to use the 10.6 package descriptions for 10.9, so I just now added them for 10.7-10.9. They should show up in your package list shortly after a "fink selfupdate" -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
