Thanks. I know about fink. I use it at home.

I think that fink is overkill for this particular use. Not only that, 
cfengine would not be in the traditional location of /var/cfengine.

I'm doing my own package because I want to minimize mistakes. In this 
case, it will install berkeley db, cfengine, run cfkey and cfengine and 
probably launch the inventory agent as well.

Installing fink adds complexity and time to the install process and it 
doesn't yield much in return because 99% of the time we wouldn't need it 
for anything else.

If fink is needed, I can always install it via cfengine.

Sincerely,
Jason
