Most of the packages in fink's unstable tree are new packages, or new version of packages, which need to be tested. The package maintainer has already successfully used the package, but he or she needs feedback from other users before the package can be moved to the stable tree.
So... you don't really need to worry about instabilities in the programs themselves. However, you should consider updating fairly frequently if you are using the unstable tree, because if problems do arise, the maintainers will address them through revised versions of their packages. Also, if you are using the unstable tree, you can help fink progress by emailing the maintainers of unstable packages which you are using successfully, so that they know these packages are suitable for the stable tree. "fink info foo" will tell you the maintainer of pkg "foo". -- Dave _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
