You can pack up an svn checkout and put it in /sw/src for your own local use. For an official package description, basically the same procedure applies: a tarball is made, and put online somewhere. It's probably not too hard actually to set up a method by which fink could check out from a repo at a fixed svn revision to generate a source tarball to work from, but there hasn't been a sufficient combination of time/motivation to do it yet. - -- Alexander Hansen Fink User Liaison -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkv8KoYACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ9xFQCghjr6+8rZrd/z+d4sRZRMoB1y NBMAn0HOt2R0mEs4xRH0Msfy7ufto9SB =J/W0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list Fink-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
