I don't think there's an easy way to say "bison <= 1.75 or bison >= 2.0" in Fink, and have it install the right package. (My personal preference is to never ask an end-user to install bison, flex, etc. but to have those generated files be considered "precious", and included in the source tarball like ./configure scripts... but that's beyond my autoconf/make scripting abilities, so I won't push on that issue.) As far as stable vs unstable, this is one of the reasons why iverilog is not in the "stable" section of Fink (for 10.3). 10.4 has bison 2.0 in stable; hence iverilog could be moved to stable. I have 10.4 installed now; I should check that it works at some point. Also, it's not like Debian where both "stable" and "unstable" packages automatically have binary packages available - the autobuilder system is still a work-in-progress. -- - Charles Lepple
