Hello, Cavin. It doesn't quite work like this. sources.list is for  
binary distributions only.

If you need files from dmrrsn's experimental tree, download them  
(either via a CVS checkout or using SF.net's ViewVC service) to your  
local tree and run fink index. The following posts contain further  
information that might be useful:
