[Fink-users] Rule of thumb sought for stable/unstable packages

[Brendan Lane Larson]

I'm curious if the Fink general rule of thumb is such that if a Mac running Fink is going to use just one unstable package, then does that machine need to work off an entire unstable tree as required for inclusion in the /sw/fink/fink.conf file?

Or, can a machine mix and match? For example, can /sw/fink/fink.conf reference stable trees only, and at the same time, can an administrator copy the .info and .patch files of an unstable package over to the stable directory and install and run it that way? Is it too risky to mix and match? Better to just go all stable or all unstable? Or is this really dependent on a case-by-case basis?

Thanks for any suggested rules of thumb (if there are such)!
