I've been reading the recent posts to the effect that, by placing the source tarballs in /sw/src, fink install will "do the job."
gimp-1.2.2 has been replaced by gimp-1.2.3. I've downloaded it and placed the .tar.gz file in /sw/src. I chown and chgrp to root and admin and checked the permissions. (sudo should override all that anyway, right?) When I attempt a "sudo fink build" [package], it responds with "Information about 635 packages read in 4 seconds. pkg gimp version 1.2.3 no matching version found for gimp." I've tried this with gimp, gimp-1.2.3, gimp-1.2.3.tar.gz, /sw/src/gimp-1.2.3...etc. to no avail. I've tried these from my home directory and from inside the /sw/src directory. Attempting a fink install fails because v1.2.2 is no longer inside the v1.2.2 directory. it has been replaced by v1.2.3. I've read the man pages without success. xephem suffers a similar fate, in that v3.5.1 is no longer current- the v3.5.2 I've downloaded again isn't recognized by fink. Is there a way to manually update fink's package version numbers? (I realize that could result in dependency problems). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
