do i read this correctly : it means ONLY pre-releases, right? and
then :
"`fink -y install coot` [...] whenever you require the latest
version. "
means precisely that - the latest version, NOT a pre-release, so
that the unstable branch does not need activation.

This is why I gave up my first career as an international peace
mediator in the Middle East. I don't think I consciously
distinguished between "pre-release" and "release" when I wrote this.
In any case, the latest coot will always be in unstable.
For a long time, the version of coot in stable was 0.5.2, but I had to
make so many changes to get coot to compile as 64-bit on 10.6 64-bit
fink but compile as 32-bit on 32-bit fink on 10.6, I didn't want to go
back to 0.5.2, so I put the same pre-release into stable as a
placeholder that (hopefully) compiles on every permutation of fink and
Apple hardware and operating system. When version 0.6 comes out, I
will keep that in stable and then again put pre-releases in unstable.
