First of course, you should make sure that the package is indeed fit 
for stable. This means you should have positive feedback from other 
users, the more, the better. Those shouldn't have just installed it, 
but actually used it. If you are in doubt, just ask on the fink-devel 
list what others think about a move for a given package.

To perform the actual move, you just copy from the unstable tree to 
the stable tree, and cvs add the "new" file to the stable tree. In 
addition, you may want to remove the old reviison.

One way is to use the CVS web interface, and download the desired 
file revision there. To do it from command line, first find out the 
revision of the package you want (e.g. using "cvs log" or again, CVS 
web). Say it's revision 1.4. Then cd to the dir where it used to bem 
and enter this:

  cvs update -r 1.4 TheFileName.info

I actually use hdiutil much more frequently than anything else, it even 
has a decent command line interface.  I worked out the options in 5 mins 
from `man hdiutil`  It even gives example usages.

The last one I just made with diskcopy. But you can also do it in a

Probably not, but it isn't consistent with the other packages where 
"necessary duplicates" have different names.  (e.g. ghostscript and 
ghostscript6, automake and automake25)

Curious:  How do you make .dmg files?  If I can get away with straight

available.

OK, I've completed builds of everything in the main and crypto branch.  
The crypto branch isn't overly large.  :)

The only problem I found there is that gnupg-egd doesn't build.  It tries 
to install Fink/init.csh, which doesn't exist.

Just out of interest... What's the best way to move something from unstable
to stable?

Also... (while I'm on the topic of CVS), if you want to 'resurrect' a file
that you've removed (cvs remove), what's the command to do that? I've seen
it done before...

Thanks!

Of course, we'll want it in 0.3.3, don't we?

The version of xfce in stable is old... I have compiled the unstable version
of xfce fine, and I have had successful reports, but someone complained of a
bus error, I think.

Bit late to move it to stable now, though, to be included in 0.3.2.a :-/

I'll still move it if you want, though! :)

What do you mean with "old" ? Not fixed since your last report? Well, 
the maintainers may not yet have gotten around fixing them in stable 
(hint, hint, Jeremy and Andrew =)

Hm, too late to remove it from stable now, oversight by me :/

Actually, that is not a mistake. You only should need to install 
automake 1.4 if you are a developer and specifically need it, then I 
don't think it's too much asked to enter "fink install automake-1.4", 
is it?

Thanks Max!  My updated report on the main branch:

gnome-games 1.4.0.3-4: installation fails when chown is not in the path,
which it normally is not.  gnome-games should refer to the full 
path of the binary

There seem to still be old versions of povray, rasmol, and xfce in the
finkinfo tree.

ghx still doesn't build.

There are two versions of automake, which like the versions of autoconf, 
might be required, but they should have different package names so they 
are both 'dselect' and apt-get-able.

I'm going to build the crypto branch now.  I'll report again if there's 
any problems.

After that, I'm going to try my hand at a CD based installer.  :)
