Just because two programs use the same codebase that doesn't necessarily mean that Fink has to build them both in one operation (it can, but it doesn't have to). So if you just install cdrdao, you will get cdrdao only. As it turns out, Fink's gcdmaster is based on the cdrdao-1.1.7 codebase, while its cdrdao version is 1.2.1, so we clearly don't build them at the same time. Fink doesn't have an automated mechanism to get the latest version of a package (this would be difficult to do, given that the upstream developers of packages can break stuff willy-nilly), so you only have access to whatever version the maintainer for the package has made available. -- Alexander K.
