I have put a preliminary version of the 0.5.0 source distribution up on
sourceforge, but I need some help with it.

We've had a number of changes recently, including the change from 10.1
to 10.2, and I'm not sure if the source distribution actually does what
it's supposed to do at this point, or if it corresponds to the directions
on the website.  One change with 0.5.0 is that one of the files is now
called "dists-0.5.0.tar.gz" instead of "packages-0.5.0.tar.gz" and
either the documentation would need to be changed to reflect this, or
some of the scripts in scripts/srcdist would need to be changed, to change
the name of the file.  (I already made some changes to those scripts and to
the HOWTO, to reflect the shift from "packages" to "dists".)

Another question I have is whether the location "pkginfo" within the
fink-0.5.0-full tarball is correctly named, and whether those files
are actually injected into the user's tree at an appropriate point.

The cvs tag release_0_5_0 is final, now, so it is easy to test these
things using the scripts in scripts/srcdist.  I would test them myself
before release but I will have very little time in the near future
so if someone else would like to take over this task it would be
greatly appreciated.

(I have built all of the .debs for 0.5.0 and I'll get them moved to the
bindist location fairly soon; so I don't need help with that aspect of
things.)

If you do help out with this, please let me know how it goes.

  Thanks,
  Dave
