Folk,

I'm having troubles figuring out how to set up a fink package exactly. 
I'm quite familiar with RPMs and fink's package files definitely seem
similar, but what I'm not sure of is how to test-build a package outside
of the tree... or is that not possible?  I'm getting the impression that
all source files must be downloadable, while patch can piggy-back with the
info file?  I put together jwgc.info and validated it.  Now I'm not real
sure what to do with it to make it actually create the package.  If I were
to wager a guess, I'd say I need to put it in the /sw/fink/dists directory
tree somewhere and run fink build on it.  Could anyone run me through a
quick procedure for how they might add a new package?  (ie, step 1, i
create the .info file in /sw/fink/dists/local/whatever, step 2 validate
it, step 3 build it and make sure it works, step 4, submit the info file
to a list)  ??  Thanks, sorry for the confusion.

Daniel
