That's half of what's needed. The other half -- and it may already be available by default, I forget at the moment -- is to edit the Trees: line in /sw/etc/fink.conf so that local/main is part of your Fink path. My Trees line, for comparison, is (one line, not sure how this'll work): +++ Trees: local/crypto local/main unstable/crypto unstable/main untable/crypto stable/main +++ This will grab local changes ahead of experimental & stable stuff. All you have to do to install a hypothetical, hand-rolled or custom hacked package you've put in /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo/test.info is to issue a standard "fink install test" command. -- Chris Devers
