- A test version of the 10.2 updater for Fink is now available.
The update process is somewhat complicated at the moment, but is explained in <a
href="<?php print $root; ?>news/jaguar.php">step-by-step instructions for
updating</a>. We also have separate <a href="<?php print $root;

- </p>
- <p>
- At the moment, approximately 800 out of 1150 Fink packages
have been made ready for 10.2. However, virtually all of these packages are still
being tested and have not yet been moved to the "stable" tree in the 10.2
section; moreover, binaries for 10.2 packages are not yet available.
