My current Fink installation is borked and will not update -- It looks
like I'll have to start with a fresh install.

I like to always have the latest packages from CVS. Is it feasible to do
the following to save some by not compiling the already-up-to-date
binary packages, like xfree86-base:
0. save your current debs & sources, eg cp -RL /sw/fink/debs /some/backup and cp /sw/src/* /some/backup/src

    1. Remove my existing Fink installation

    2. Install the new 0.5.0a binary release
	2a. put you backups back in place

    3. Install all the packages I need w/o compiling to save time --
    such as xfree86 base and xfree86 rootless
	no need just 'fink install'

    4. Edit /sw/etc/fink.conf and add the unstable/main and
    unstable/crypto trees to the front of the `Trees:' directive after
    local/main

    5. Run selfupdate-cvs and then update-all to retrieve and build the
    freshest-from-the-dairy packages availble
