well, we are trying to make releases more frequent, but it is a fair 
amount of work making a release

actually, this does not come up as often as you might think.
if you want the most packages, add unstable/main and unstable/crypto to 
your fink.conf file (usually in /sw/etc). this will give you access to 
the latest packages, but at a small price. Some of them are not fully 
functional, and/or buggy. this is the best way to help, though, because 
the more good reports the maintainers receive, the faster they can be 
put into stable.

if there are packages you want ported, go to the request tracker and 
make a request, or read the docs and try it yourself  :-)
