Re: [Fink-users] grabbing dependencies for a unstable pkg?

[Lloyd B. <ll...@fo...>]

I am quite certain that the unstable tree is as stable as possible -- 
which translates to very stable based on the work I have seen of the 
fink-users team.  Possibly, if I "need" to use enough unstable pkgs , I 
will switch to unstable.  Otherwise, this lets me stay focused on 
getting the packages I use into stable (for my friends).

Cheers,
Lloyd
