Generally we wait for releases. Building from CVS is not advisable because everybody's version could be different. If you wanted to you could make a "snapshot" tarball, put it on your site and make a package out of that. But some projects won't "support" you running from a cvs snapshot from a random date. -Ben -- http://homepage.mac.com/bhines/ _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas - http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm?source=osdntextlink _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
