Hi Jared. Thanks for your interest in making Fink packages; we definitely need more people who want to do that!
The procedure is, once your submission to the package submission tracker meets Fink's standards, one of the Fink developers will add it to the unstable tree. (Sometimes this takes a while, because we are all rather busy and there is nobody whose main job is to watch the package submission tracker...) Then, hopefully, other people will use your package and send you feedback. It's actually pretty easy to send feedback using FinkCommander, and I get a decent amount of positive feedback for at least some of my packages. Once there has been positive feedback, the package can move to the stable tree. You might be asked by a Fink developer if this is OK to do on your behalf, or (if you hear the feedback yourself), you can re-open your original package submission tracker item and mention that you got positive feedback and ask for your package to be moved to stable. After your package is in the stable tree, it will be included in the binary distribution the next time there is a general Fink distribution (assuming that it has an open source license). Lots of folks have only packaged one or two things for Fink; if you package more than that, after you get some experience you'll be invited to become a Fink developer and then some of the above steps get a bit streamlined. Thanks again for your interest, Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
