Ah, now I see how it works/ why it's not the latest...

Yep, which is what the Fink installation instructions recommended for 
first timers...

Well, everything seems to be working fine now, but the version numbers 
I'm seeing don't look right...
I installed the developer tools, and then tried going back to the 
stable tree and doing rsync then update all and it still shows as 2.2.x 
in the binary and source columns.  I tried the unstable tree with rsync 
and got 2.4.x in the source, but still only 2.2.x in the binary  (2.5.x 
for lilypond-unstable)  I've still been using the Fink Controller app. 
(The Fink Commander suggested, but didn't require the developer tools 
to be installed)

Any suggestions?

Thanks again,
Paul
