Each "unstable" package is already ported, and available for testing. (All new packages go into "unstable" pending successful test reports.) If you look in /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/some_directory, you'll find the existing aalib package. You can copy the .info and .patch files over to /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo, and then install it and try it out. If it is working well, please report your success to the package maintainer so that he or she knows it is suitable to move to "stable." If the existing package is not working well, the maintainer will undoubtedly appreciate what you have done, and can incorporate it into a revised version.
In the case of a completely new package, you can submit it for consideration on the "package submission tracker," linked from fink's homepage. Another good thing to look at is the "package request tracker," which mentions lots of packages which people would like to see ported to fink. If you have porting skills, there are plenty of ways you can help out! -- Dave "Andrew Kelly" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I recently successfully ported the aalib Ascii Art library to Darwin.
