Does anybody know if programs only available in the 10.3 release of

I need to use a particular science software package (ARB) for my
research but the developer is likely to be slow in releasing it for 10.4.
Your best bet is still to wait for the maintainer to release it, perhaps
speeding it up by helping him by trying to build it yourself and finding
fixes for the errors that will appear. You can always take the package
description from 10.3, place it into your
/sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo directory and try to build it (same
procedure as described in the FAQ for using occasional unstable packages
in stable). The package description (files arb.info and arb.patch) can
be obtained either from the cvs web server (referenced on the Fink home
page) or by rsync, for example (one line)
rsync
rsync://opendarwin.org/finkinfo/10.3/unstable/main/finkinfo/sci/arb.\* ./
