But I still have the question: do I need to use the CVS route to get the unstable packages for 10.2? Not sure how to proceed, thanks.

When I do a fink list, I don't see openmotif3 listed, yet it's listed at fink.sourceforge.com as being available as a package. The FAQ says to add the unstable packages to my /sw/etc/conf file, which I have done; it's listed below. What do I need to do to be able to see this package? When I do a fink list, it gives me a suspiciously short list. Thanks.
BTW, I'm running on OS X.2 and have followed the instructions for updating at http://fink.sourceforge.net/news/jaguar.php.
# Fink configuration, initially created by bootstrap.pl
Basepath: /sw
RootMethod: sudo
Trees: local/main stable/main stable/crypto local/bootstrap unstable/main unstable/crypto
Mirror-ctan: ftp://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/
Mirror-gimp: ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub
Mirror-gnome: ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/
Mirror-gnu: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu
MirrorContinent: nam
MirrorCountry: nam-us
ProxyPassiveFTP: true
Verbose: true
Distribution: 10.2
So I tried the following, and got another confusing error:
Thanks for any help. Should I somehow unconfigure fink to not use CVS now? I recall I set this up a long time ago...
[12-232-110-43:~/Downloads/fink-0.11.0] rcook% fink selfupdate
sudo /sw/bin/fink selfupdate
Password:
Your Fink installation is set up to update package descriptions directly from
CVS. Do you want to use this setup and update now? [Y/n]
I will now run the cvs command to retrieve the latest package descriptions.
The 'su' command will be used to run the cvs command as the user 'rcook'.
After that, the core packages will be updated right away; you should then
update the other packages using commands like 'fink update-all'.
su rcook -c 'cvs -z3 update -d -P'
cvs: Permission denied.
### execution of su failed, exit code 1
Failed: Updating using CVS failed. Check the error messages above.
I've tried looking a bit through the archives but I am too confused to go on. :-) Thanks.
