I should point out that "stable" is a bit misleading in this case. Fink used to have "stable" and "unstable" trees, but due to low participation in the user feedback program, packages were not often moved from "unstable" to "stable". The default is "stable until proven otherwise". (Note that I don't have any specific plans to upgrade OS X while 10.10 is still being patched.)

There are some unpleasant bits related to the OpenSSL license and GPL software. The attached patch to /sw/fink/dists/stable/finkinfo/net/nut.info should build on 10.11, but I probably shouldn't merge it yet.
