Ok, after all the frustration, I finally got xcdroast installed. A lot of work if I do say so myself. What I finally did was just to go to the main website at
http://www.xcdroast.org/xcdr098/xcdrosX.html for the image file
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.
As you can see on the page http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/package.php/xcdroast, the xcdroast package exists only in the 10.2-gcc3.3/unstable distribution. You are probably using the 10.3 distribution and the package does not exist there.
I don't know what files you put into your directory /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo. If you had put the xcdroast.info and xcdroast.patch files from the 10.2-gcc3.3 tree there, fink and FinkCommander would have seen the package and would have allowed you to install it from source. Any other files except *.info files and their accompanying *.patch files in that directory are not seen by fink.
Whether this procedure would have succeeded, I don't know, you can still try. As to why the package does not exist in 10.3, maybe the maintainer just had no time to test it, or maybe it doesn't work, I don't know either.
On March 16, there was a thread "Xcdroast in 10.3 tree" on the fink-users group which might be of interest to you.
If you give positive (or negative) feedback about compiling the xcdroast package from 10.2-gcc3.3 on 10.3, this might help moving the package over to 10.3.
