[Scribus] Latest CVS vs. Fink (was Scripts, linking frames etc.)

[Carol Kankelborg]

I would like to use the SetStyle() command in a script for my current 
project, but
it is only available in 1.2cvs.  I currently get Scribus via Fink 
(10.2-gcc3.3,
unstable).  I tried a  "fink selfupdate-cvs" but I guess the Fink CVS 
for scribus is not
the same as the latest Scribus CVS.

Can I just install the lastest Scribus CVS in /usr/local wihtout 
messing up the Fink
version?  (My preference is to continue to use Fink as my primary 
source for Scribus.)
Do I have to uninstall the Fink Scribus? Is compiling Scribus from the 
source straight-forward
on Mac OS 10.2.8?  Or, am I better off doing my style-setting manually 
this time around and
wait for the SetStyle() command to trickle into Fink? (I have about 40 
pages with multiple styles
on each one, all following the same layout.)

Thanks,
Carol
