I was told that experimental was precisely here to do that. Provides a location where to put some attempt other people can test or change.
So, now what is experimental for?
Oh, clear.
Actually I use it for cvs builds for the packages I maintain. This allows members of projects to test, document, etc on a Mac, between two official releases.
And for the other packages, those are either new packages or packages already in fink I use and prefer to have at the latest release if possible. They work for me; but as I am very very newbye, I need another eye on it, in case something escaped me completely, which is likely to happen.
You can ask people to try things in your experimental, but since anything in there is considered "not ready for prime time" it will generally be left alone unless you specifically ask for help in testing something.I do it, but unfortunately those packages require to install a lot of other packages, so that not many people can or have time to test them.
OK. Your previous mail made it sound like that was not the case. Assuming you never heard back before, I'd say maybe ping the maintainer again, and if you don't hear anything in a few days, go ahead and put it in, if the current package is causing issues.
OK. I've done it. Thanks.
