I noticed fink/dists is a symlink to the full path of 10.2:
ln -s /sw/fink/10.2 /sw/fink/dists
Wouldn't it be better to do:
ln -s 10.2 /sw/fink/dists
Then i wouldn't get confused when copying my fink installs around,
when I cd into /swbackup/fink/dists and it goes to the other install's
dists . :) Also it would probably increase performance a tiny bit
somewhere (fewer paths to traverse in the link).
I agree. This bit me already once when I plugged in my backup firewire
disk.
However, if /sw/fink/dists is there already and you run that command,
it creates:
lrwxr-xr-x 1 ben staff 4 Dec 12 22:50 10.2 -> 10.2
in /sw/fink/dists.. so you should remove the current symlink before
creating the new one in postinstall.pl. (looks like it already does
that, anyway)
Always use "ln -nsf" instead of "ln -s".
