[Fink-users] copying /sw/src to another system

[Greg Hamilton]

I've noticed that the tarballs for installed packages are saved in 
/sw/src.

If I copy these files to the fink /sw/src directory on another machine 
and the use fink to install the packages represented by these files 
should I expect fink to find the files and use them in preference to 
downloading them again ?

I tried doing this to install gnumeric.

After typing 'fink install gnumeric' and answering a few questions 
about virtual dependencies fink started downloading 
'gnumeric-1.0.10.tar.gz'. This file is already in /sw/src.
