1. put the following content into a file called hello.c
2. put the following content into a file called Makefile
3. type "tar -chofz hello.tgz hello.c Makefile.c"
4. move hello.tgz to (DIRECTORY)
5. put the following content into a file called hello.info
6. move hello.info to (DIRECTORY)
7. type (FINK COMMAND) to build a local copy
8.If step 7 worked, type (FINK COMMAND) to install the built copy
in the above, you'll note that I have some items in caps. I read the manual in some detail, but I only realized these essential things after folks on this list helped me.
Q: is the package manual available in WIKI form? If so, then folks like Sean (and me) could make a stab at adding content to help other newbies. Alternatively, is the package manual avail in CVS, and is there a patch facility to coordinate contributions?

Hello,
After having gone through the process of getting a new project added to fink for the first time, I figured I might as well share some of my thoughts and insights with others.
