"Unstable" is a carryover from Debian terminology. For Fink purposes the packages there generally work--it could be that the maintainer didn't receive positive feedback on the package to move it to stable, or that it has dependencies that have to be moved first, or some other minor reason. We might be better served with unstable -> testing -> stable, but that hasn't been implemented as of yet. -- Alexander K. Hansen Fink Documenter (for now) Help keep AKH in Fink!
