[Fink-devel] FAQ: packages not in bindist

[Max Horn]

We keep getting requests / bug reports due to problems caused by 
packages missing from the bindist (ghostscript). There is no really 
useful error message printed in these cases by apt-get / FinkCommander 
etc. right now...

So I think it would be good to at least have a FAQ entry that explains 
the reasons for this (legal issues), and how to work around it 
(installing the missing package(s) from source).

Also, maybe at least FinkCommander could be improved to mention this 
possibility when installing a package from the bindist fails?

Cheers,

Max
