From my own stumbling through the packaging tutorial, i've a few things to suggest for addition that i wished i'd known while doing this. Had this been a wiki, i would have already put them in...
* At the end of section 1.2 or the beginning of section 1.3, insert a command to "fink install passwd". Without this installed, warnings are generated during the "fink -m --build-as-nobody" step - due to the lack of the 'fink-bld' user. * In section 1.3 right after the command "fink -m --build-as-nobody", it wouldn't hurt to mention that failure to fetch the tarball is to be expected because the new package is unlikely to reside in any of the fink mirrors. The user will have to 'go to next mirror set' one or more times before curl will be able to find the file.
