1) Find its package description file. For this example "fink dumpinfo -finfofile mono" will tell you where it is. 2) Copy the info and patch file (if present) to /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo (this isn't mandatory, but recommended) 3) Make sure that 'local/main' is in the Trees: line of /sw/etc/fink.conf . 4) Verify that the local file is the one being used by fink. In this case, this would be via "fink dumpinfo -finfofile mono" 5) Edit the local info file. In this case, since the parameter is set in the CompileScript of the info file, that's straightforward. In other cases this might involve the ConfigureParams (which go to the configure script) setting environment variables, editing the patch file, ... Or you could just wait for the maintainer to fix it--that's who the comment was really directed at. - -- Alexander K.
