[Fink-users] Source packages
How do I download and install source packages. I don't know how to define a server for sources in /sw/etc/apt/sources.list. Fritz - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

The fink project has borrowed the apt-get tool from the debian project to manage _binary_ packages, but we don't use apt-get to manage source packages. (In fact, the debian concept of source packages doesn't really exist in fink.) If a fink package foo doesn't exist in binary form, then you install it with the command fink install foo (which will download the source tarball from the original site or from a fink mirror location for source tarballs, and then compile the source into a fink package). -- Dave - Take Surveys.

For downloading sources, you don't use the apt command, you use the fink command. Apt is only used for managing compiled binary packages. The source URLs are defined in the package descriptions themselves and then in the Fink mirror system. Mirror choice is defined in /sw/etc/fink.conf and through fink configure. -- Martin - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
