fink. How do I install a version from a stable vs. an unstable tree?

If there is the same highest version (and revision) number, the order of preference in your Trees line in /sw/etc/fink.conf is used. Usually you have something like

Trees: local/main stable/main unstable/main unstable/crypto stable/crypto local/bootstrap

there. Actually, if it is like this, you already should be using stable instead of unstable in case of equal versions. Anyway, what is important is that local/main is in front.

This means that if you copy some info file (with its accompanying patch file) into /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo/, it will be the version in local that will be used for building. You can doctor it as you like, for example change the Source line, and it will be used until stable or unstable come up with a higher version number.
