To expand on Alexander's answer just a little bit, when I'm making a fink package I go through exactly the first steps you describe: let fink try, look at the state of things after it fails, and figure out how to fix it.
But after that, I unpack a fresh copy of the tarball and edit what needs to be edited. The I rename the edited, unpacked copy, and unpack a fresh copy again. Run "diff" to create the patch file that will be used in the next fink run, put that patch file in the correct place, add the "Patch" line to the .info file, and I'm good to go. -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: eBay Great deals on office technology -- on eBay now!
