I hope this is an easy question, as I can't find anything about it on the docs or FAQs (not that it isn't there).
I have successfully run the update to include the CVS information in Fink (and by extension, Fink Commander) so that I can install some of the unstable scientific packages. However, what fink lists as the available package is not necessarily the latest (which I understand can be a common problem). However, during the CVS update, I noticed that the .info and .patch files were being loaded into both a 10.2/ directory and a 10.1/ directory. I assume this is in reference to the Mac OS X operating version. So, for example, a package called xdrawchem is listed as version 1.6.4-1 in the /sw/fink/10.2/unstable/main/finkinfo/sci directory, while it is version 1.3.2-1 in the /sw/fink/10.1/unstable/main/finkinfo/sci directory. A look at the website for xdrawchem however lists no OS X 10.2 version requirements for this program, so if indeed Fink is separating out 10.1 and 10.2 but it's not a valid separation, what do I need to do to install the latest? I've tried downloading the latest from the web site itself and running "fink install xdrawchem-1.6.4-1" but it says that the package doesn't exist. I've also read that you can manually download the .info and .package files, but for several programs I can't find them. Can I just copy over the .info and .patch files from the 10.2 directory? Sorry if this is long winded--just trying to figure things out. Thanks for any help.
