The fink project has borrowed the "apt-get" tool from the debian project to manage _binary_ packages, but we don't use apt-get to manage "source packages". (In fact, the debian concept of "source packages" doesn't really exist in fink.) If a fink package "foo" doesn't exist in binary form, then you install it with the command "fink install foo" (which will download the source tarball from the original site or from a fink mirror location for source tarballs, and then compile the source into a fink package). -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
