# 154 - yeah, lots of work for the last 10 years

fink list py27 # What is available for python
fink install yolk-py27
yolk -U # see how far behind pypi fink packages are

# Where is the shapely-py.info file that defines shapely for fink?
mdfind shapely-py.info | grep shapely-py.info
# /sw/fink/10.7/stable/main/finkinfo/sci/shapely-py.info

# 10.8 and 10.7 share the same packages
less /sw/fink/10.8/stable/main/finkinfo/sci/shapely-py.info  # See exactly how I built fink
grep perl /sw/fink/10.8/stable/main/finkinfo/sci/shapely-py.info # See how I patched shapely to find libgeos...
