You probably should contact the package maintainer directly, since they do the actual updating.

Does the 5.5.8 beta build for you on your Mac? If so, then it should be possible for you to make up a package description file that will install it under Fink. It's not too hard.

Hello. I just started with FINK and I think it's great -- especially for
UNIX novices like me. However, one thing that concerns me is the age of some
of the packages. Specifically ImageMagick. The current FINK version is 5.5.1
(if I'm up-to-date) which has a date of 10/15/2002. The current version
available directly is 5.5.7. And the 5.5.8 beta has some fixes that are
critical to my application. I really prefer using FINK to install this
software so is it possible to estimate when current versions become
available in FINK? FinkCommander says I have 0.17.1-1 installed. Thanks...
