Re: [Fink-devel] Packages without Maintainers

[Neal Parikh]

Make sure that the package's .info and .patch files are correct and up 
to date. E.g. if the package is updated, you should be able to provide 
an updated info file within a reasonable amount of time ... with any 
new fixes as are necessary. In short, maintain the package. :) It's 
fairly self explanatory. Of course some packages are considerably 
harder to maintain than others because they're more complicated to 
compile or OS X doesn't support some Unixism or they're poorly written 
or whatever, but that's the basic idea.

Hi!
I would love to help out, except that What exactly do package 
maintainers do?
Thanks,
