I don't think we have one, and every time I move something to
stable I
think I should write one, just haven't gotten to it. ;)
But yes, this would be an awesome tool.
Using the --trees or --exclude-trees flags available in CVS HEAD fink,
it's easy to turn off various trees without futzing with fink.conf and
without worrying "maybe a dependency is currently installed but its
.info isn't present". So copy your foo.info to stable, then:
fink --trees=stable/main,stable/crypto,virtual rebuild foo
If you get as far as fink asking for confirmation about what pkgs
it'll build, then you're all set. If you get an error that a
dependency could not be satisfied, well then...
Dan: What if some necessary dependency from unstable is already
installed, though? Won't it be satisfied according to dpkg? Or does
fink ignore that information when first checking dependencies?
