http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-fink.php#unstable
If you only want one or two specific packages, it is safer to copy those .info files (and their associated .patch files, if there are any) from /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo to /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo.
Do you agree with this? I don't. I think we should remove that from the faq and tell people to just enable the unstable tree. Moving stuff to local can cause a number of problems and support issues.
