 Fink mirror lists
===================

This directory holds the mirror lists for the Fink distribution.

Currently, the mirror lists are held in the fink/fink-mirrors repository
at Github. There are three ways for them to get from git into your Fink
tree.

The first way is to install the new fink-mirrors package.  This will bring
your list of mirrors to be current as of the release date of that package.

The second way is to download a tarball, unpack it in a temporary
directory and use the provided inject.pl script. The script copies the
mirror lists into your Fink installation. Just run it, in most
cases it locates your tree on its own. If it doesn't, pass the path as
a parameter, as in

  ./inject.pl /sw

The third way is basically the same, but instead of downloading a
tarball, you use git to check out the 'fink-mirrors' repository to a
temporary directory. Then you use the inject.pl script as above.
