+A new Fink release is
+<a href="<?php print $root; ?>download/index.php">available</a>
+ today: version 0.8.1, which can be installed on either Intel or PowerPC

+The release includes source files, binary packages, and Fink

+Fink on the Intel platform is still considered "beta" quality, and a number of
+packages (particularly packages in the "unstable" tree) either do not compile,

+<p>
+Fink users on PowerPC whose existing fink installation uses the
+10.4-transitional tree (from the 0.8.0 distribution) may upgrade in
+one of two ways. The upgrade process is problematic, due to the change
+in ABI of g++ libraries which requires many libraries to be recompiled.
+Many users will simply wish to remove their fink installations and
+start anew with the 0.8.1 installer. Others may wish to use the new

tarball</a> (around 12 MB), which includes

-A preliminary version of Fink for the Intel architecture is now ready.
-No binary packages are available, and things are still rough around
-the edges, but it should be usable if you are patient!
-</p>
- <p>
-To install it, you need to install the XCode compiler and SDK packages (at
minimum). Then you need to get the file
-<code>fink-0.24.16.tar.gz</code> (or a later version, if it's available)
-from <a

-Sourceforge file release page for Fink</a>, expand the file, and
-run the command <code>./bootstrap.sh</code> . At the end of the
-bootstrap process, run <code>fink selfupdate</code> and you'll get
-the currently available packages.

-At last check, there were about 1750 packages in the "stable" tree, but
-about 150 of those did not build. When things are truly stable, another
