I've recently discovered growl, and appreciate the notifications that fink sends. It would be useful to also have an available growl notification when fink is waiting for user input.

Example - I have an older, slow machine, and sometimes if I start a "fink install some_complex_package", I have moved to another app by the time that fink asks "The following additional package will be installed:". It would be nice if growl could remind me to go tend to fink.

    Whoops. I see this is effectively a duplicate of http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1651024&group_id=17203&atid=367203

    We need a way to search more than just the item summaries. I searched for "growl" before writing this item, but got no hit, as "growl" only appears in the body of the item.

    The other tracker item brings up an additional point: Fink might need a timeout so you don't get pestered with notifications when you are trying to answer the question on the screen.
