If one is available, you can use "fink > install <packagename>-<version>-<revision>", e.g. "fink install > foo-1.2.3-4".
If that doesn't get you the version you need, you could find the old .info file via the browsable cvs archive. http://fink.cvs.sourceforge.net/fink/dists/ Download the needed version of the info file to /sw/fink/dists/local/ main/finkinfo, do "fink index", then install the package using the command that Alexander gave above. Notes: 1 - the revision number shown on the cvs browser has nothing at all to do with the fink package version. It is simply an internal version number used by cvs. You will need to actually view the .info files to see what package version they are. 2 - Be careful to download from the "MAIN" branch, not the "pango- cairo branch". The pango-cairo is only used for testing this upcoming major change, and is not ready for general use yet. Specific procedures must be followed to switch to the pango-cairo branch. -- Kevin Horton Ottawa, Canada ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
