debian/fink and mbsystem

schwehr.org is currently in a "transitional stage"... it will be back soon.  Too much going on with the group of use all hosting together for us to get this settled right away.

Jonny B asked a question this morning about tides and mbsystem.  I didn't know the answer, but here is how I went about investigating.  This is on a mac with 10.7 and fink.  Hopefully this will give people some ideas about how to dig through what is around.  "dpkg -L" lists the files in a package.  As Jonny B said with a reference to the movie The Matrix, "Yowza, nice kung fu!".  I didn't have a fish to give, so the best I could do was point to the tackle store and say you might be able to get what you need to fish in there.


# Which fink packages deal with sonar?
fink apropos sonar
# If you already know about mbsystem...
fink list mbsystem
fink install mbsystem
dpkg -L mbsystem | grep tide
# Nothing
cd ~/Desktop
ls /sw/src/mbsystem*
# See that the latest tar is version 5.3.1917
tar xf /sw/src/mbsystem-5.3.1917.tar.gz
cd mbsystem-5.3.1917
