I'm not sure exactly what you mean. If you're looking for the the Fink 
package description files (eg: .info and .patch), they're in Fink CVS. 
Type 'fink selfupdate-cvs', and they'll be fetched automatically.

If you mean you want Fink to download the already-compiled binary 
packages, you'll have to use dselect for that. I know it's a bit 
annoying, sorry.

If you mean that Fink can't find the .info/.patch files because your 
fink.conf is set up to use the stable tree only, there's again not much 
to do. You can either move the .info/.patch files for every dependency 
into /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo/, or you can temporarily edit 
/sw/etc/fink.conf to allow the unstable tree to be used.

There is a new Fink feature called "split-offs", which allows one .info 
file to be used for multiple packages. So orbit-shlibs-0.5.15 and later 
are included in the orbit-0.5.15-*.info file.

By the way, Fink's nautilus is currently very buggy. There are at least 
4 serious bugs, two of which you can see if you check 'fink info 
nautilus'. I will be releasing a new revision of nautilus within the 
next week or so which will fix a couple of these bugs, and nautilus 
takes several hours to compile, so if you're on a slow machine you may 
want to wait for the new revision.

Thanks for your interest, and don't forget to give feedback on how well 
nautilus works for you.
