Dear developers,

I have some questions concerning the binary distributions. Please forgive me if those have been covered elsewhere, but I haven't found much information about it.

1. What is the idea to have a current and a release distribution?

2. Why does the current distribution not include all stable packages?

3. Would it be a good idea to provide binaries of the unstable packages, too?

4. I'm aware of the "unofficial" binary distribution at http://fink.opendarwin.org/bbraun. Why can't this be made official, maybe using sourceforge.net compile farm?

I believe that many users would be happy to get up-to-date binaries and not to have to compile for hours. I'll be happy to invest some of my time into this issue if necessary.

Cheers,
                Remi
