Package descriptions from cvs are more stable and reliable. If you are worried about "unstable" packages just disable the "unstable" tree in fink.conf. The stable packages are very well tested. You are not checking out beta untested code like cvs from a normal project, you are checking out package descriptions with updated URLs, new versions, etc. (note that on jaguar, you have no choice in the matter, you must be running unstable and CVS at the moment, or not at all) -Ben ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
