I recently had a problem where fink couldn't install a package b/c the package was failing build. I was able to fix the problem (and email the maintainer w/ the fix ;-). However, the procedure I used to intervene into fink's ways felt like a bigger hack than necessary. I'm wondering if there's a simpler way.
Here's what I did:
1) Installed the package, let it fail
2) found the tarball, and expanded it to a temp directory
3) hacked it, and re-tar'd it on top of the old one (huh-huh, he said 'retard')
4) re-installed it, and selected 4 to ignore the mismatched checksum
It seems like there should be a way to just hack the already-expanded source tree, and tell fink to do it's thing from that. Instead, fink insists on stomping the left-over source tree with something fresh from the tarball, and thus the tarball steps are needed.
