Only a small thing: When I type 'man fink.conf' I get:
mdoc warning: list open at EOF! A .Bl directive has no matching .El
Also, I think it would be nice to document 'fink list -o' (outdated)
and 'fink list -i' (installed) etc. in fink.man.

This is handled if you install the X11 for Mac OS X SDK; the SDK is

a fink selfupdate-cvs isn't possible at the moment because the sourceforge

A little patience, or doing something else in the meantime, is unfortunately
the best advice I have.

Unfortunately, because anonymous CVS is down, you won't be able to get
new package descriptions for the source distro for the time being, and
xemacs isn't in the binary distro yet.
If you'd like, I can send you the .info and .patch files for xemacs and

On the ranlab issue, this came up in one of my packages as well, and my
solution was to test for the presence of ranlib before invoking it.
The idea is, any user without the Developer Tools installed won't be
linking against this library anyway, so it is harmless that ranlib was
not run for them.
