A new version of the Fink package manager, 0.9.9, has just been release. It's currently in the unstable tree, however, we hope that we will get a lot of feedback on it quickly so that it can be moved to stable soon. For this reason we would like to urge everybody using Fink's unstable-CVS to update to this new version as soon as possible.
The new package manager adds a quite some new things and bug fixes, including one key feature (splitoffs) that will soon be used by many packages. More information can be found in the packaging docs <http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/packaging/index.php> An overview of the changes: * added new packaging feature: splitoffs * added support for "axel" as a download method * added the ability to resume partial downloads (doesn't work with axel) * improved the "fink list" command (enter "fink list --help" to learn more) * improved the "fink appropos" command * improved man page * when the user is prompted to choose between alternate packages, Fink now displays a brief description for each choice * extended list of package fields in which percent expansion is done * fixed a bug preventing Fink to work on pure Darwin * fixed a bug related to packages with a "+" in their name * fixed URL of SourceForge's gnome mirror * various other minor tweaks & fixes If you use unstable-CVS, please update to this new version. You can do it with these two consecutive commands: fink selfupdate-cvs fink update fink Cheers, Max _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
