I then copied all the files from the xcdroast volume to the
/sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo directory.
I am running version xcdroast-0.98alpha15.dm for Panther, Fink considers this package unstable.
I tried the fink install xcdroast command, but receive the following message that read, "Failed: no package found for specification 'xcdroast'!"
So I simply launched the package from the finkinfo directory. Everything installed and I was able to start xcdroast without any problems.
However, this package is still not showing in FinkCommander so I am wondering if Fink is handling this package or not even though it is in the finkinfo directory.

Ok, now I am kind of pissed. I did everything that the instructions below asked me to do and the xcdroast package is still not install on fink commander. The only thing that I can find on fink in the terminal is the following:
/sw/fink/10.2/unstable/main/finkinfo/utils/xcdroast.info /sw/fink/10.2/unstable/main/finkinfo/utils/xcdroast.patch /sw/fink/10.2-gcc3.3/unstable/main/finkinfo/utils/xcdroast.info /sw/fink/10.2-gcc3.3/unstable/main/finkinfo/utils/xcdroast.patch
I really need some help out there. Are we all beginners are is there someone who can help me on this mailing distribution list.

Ok, I found out where to update all unstable packages and configure Fink to install them with the following instructions at http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-fink.php?phpLang=en#cvs-busy :
Q5.8: There's this package in unstable that I want to install, but the fink command just says 'no package found'. How can I install it?
A: First make sure you understand what 'unstable' means. Packages in the unstable tree usually have not been tested by more than a few people. For that reason, Fink doesn't search the unstable tree by default. If you do enable unstable, please remember to e-mail the maintainer if something works (or even if it doesn't). Feedback from users like you is what we use to determine if something is ready for stable! To find out the maintainer of a package, run fink info <packagename>.
Packages often have dependencies, and packages in unstable often depend on other packages in unstable. For that reason, it is best to activate all of unstable.
If you want Fink to use all of unstable, edit /sw/etc/fink.conf, add unstable/main and unstable/crypto to the Trees: line, and then run fink selfupdate; fink index.
If you only want one or two specific packages, and nothing else from unstable, then you need to switch over to CVS updating (i.e. use fink selfupdate-cvs), because rsync only updates the trees that are active in your fink.conf. Edit /sw/etc/fink.conf and add local/main to the Trees: line, if not present. Then you'll need to run fink selfupdate to download the package description files. Now copy the relevant .info files (and their associated .patch files, if there are any) from /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo (or /sw/fink/dists/unstable/crypto/finkinfo) to /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo. However, note that your package may depend on other packages (or particular versions) which are also only in unstable. You will have to move their .info and .patch files as well. After you move all of the files, make sure to run fink index, so that Fink's record of available packages is updated. Once you're done you can switch back to rsync (fink selfupdate-rsync) if you want.
I am also doing a fink update-all to make sure that I my programs are updated. Hopefully, I will see this in the fink commander now so that fink can install it.

Ok, I found the package at the following:
http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/package.php/xcdroast
It still doesn't tell me how to install the package from Fink or Fink commander. I would like Fink to install it so that I can have control over the application. This is not showing up in Fink Commander.
Any help would be appreciated.
