Here's how to do it. Create a /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo/editors directory and copy the vim .info file (and .patch file if it exists) in there. Add "--with-python" or whatever you want to the ConfigureParams line and increment the revision number. Add "local/main" to Trees in /sw/etc/fink.conf. Finally, "fink update vim". > > What I'm unsure of is what I can change and yet still have it be part > of a fink installation.

To get around this, call your vim package "vim-python" and add Conflicts: vim Replaces: vim Provides: vim to the .info file (this is what is done for the vim-nox package - you might just use that one as a starting point).
