When I went to grab the recent 'gaim' , I iteratively worked through
the list of unstable pkgs. Does any have a solution for this tedious
activity?

I define two aliases (alii?) like this:

alias restabilize="sudo perl -pi -e 's/ unstable\/main //g' /sw/etc/fink.conf"
alias destabilize="sudo perl -pi -e 's/ stable\/main / stable\/main unstable\/main /g' /sw/etc/fink.conf"

(replace the equal sign with space if you use tcsh)

then I issue

destabilize
fink install unstable-package-of-choice-with-dependencies
restabilize

HTH,

Bill Scott
