CustomMirror is an excellent way to do this. You should list both the current and future directories, like this: CustomMirror: << A: http://samba.anu.edu.au/ftp/rsync B: http://samba.anu.edu.au/ftp/rsync/old-versions << and then you can say Source: mirror:custom:%n-%v.tar.gz -- Dave _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
