This must be in the May issue. After I read this email, I picked up
the April issue, but no such article on page 64.
There is an article starting on page 12 that talks about installing
open source software. The section on Fink includes this:

FWIW, FinkCommander 0.3.0 does something like this.
I have made a new release of FinkCommander available on SourceForge,
this time in both binary and source code form. Either one can be
downloaded directly from the FinkCommander home page:

Sorry. I ran into the same problem when I did a test run on my kids'
Mac and thought I had fixed it.
I think the repository is in good shape now.

FinkCommander now has its own repository on SourceForge. You can access
it by anonymous CVS as follows:

FinkCommander v. 0.1.2 is now available for download at:
http://homepage.mac.com/sburr/
A column showing whether packages are unstable as well as a few other enhancements have been added. As always, comments are welcome.
Although it appears from the discussion that this is unlikely to go
anywhere in the near future, I wanted to take one more shot at putting
out something that might actually work on a system other than my iBook
and my kids' G3. If any of you still have the patience to try it after

I've been working on a Cocoa front end for Fink. Much to my own
surprise, what I've done so far actually works pretty well. In the hope
that it might prove useful to the Fink project, I've made the Project
Builder files available for download at:
