Hey folks,We're about to release fink 0.24.8. This is a bit of a bigger point- release than usual, because a bunch of features from the future 0.25 have been backported, so we'd like to get a few days of testing on - devel before release.
To try it out, you can access the branch 'branch_0_24' in CVS, or just download a tarball here: http://vasi.webhop.org/files/fink/ source/fink-0.24.8pre.tgz . Unpack, cd into the directory, and run './ inject.pl'.
Here are some of the new features, full changelog is at http:// vasi.webhop.org/files/fink/fink-0.24.8-ChangeLog :
* 'fink rescan' is deprecated because nobody knows what it's for. If
you know, tell us!
* Dpkg and apt "lockwait": if you're running two instances of
fink, and
they both try to run dpkg or apt, breakage will no longer occur.
* Spotlight protection: fink offers to disable spotlight
indexing on your
build directory (10.4 only).
* Prebinding disabled on Tiger.
* Bug in "Repair Permissions" that can cause compiles to fail is
automagically fixed.
* 10.4.2 officially supported, 10.2 deprecated.
* Bootstrap .info files and mirrors updated: bootstrap with
XCode 2.1
works again.
* Removing the last versioned perl module now does UpdatePOD
properly.
