No we don't:
Common commmands:
install - install/update the named packages
remove - remove the named packages
update - update the named packages
selfupdate - upgrade fink to the lastest release
update-all - update all installed packages
configure - rerun the configuration process
list - list available packages, optionally filtering by name
apropos - list packages matching a search keyword
describe - display a detailed description of the named packages
index - force rebuild of package cache
This is from "fink --help".
If it's not there, it DOESN'T EXIST.
That's the first rule of documentation. The documentation *is*
the product. If it's not documented, it simply *doesn't exist*.
Looks like my efforts are needed more than ever. :)
