OTOH, I am more and more convinced that all the energy that currently
goes into constructing an upgrade path from 10.4-transitional to 10.4 is misspent and would better be used for getting new bindists faster out of
the door. What I would love to see is support for the sequence

Part of the reason for updating all the deps is so that a new bindist
would properly update everything...

a.  dump list of currently installed packages
b.  rm -rf /sw
c.  install new Fink from bindist installer or bootstrap
d.  fink install < list of previously installed packages

We had support for a and d at one time by producing a package that has all currently installed packages as dependencies, but it was shot down
for the single reason that debfoster might get confused by this. I'd
rather dump debfoster and get such a system back.

It's very easy. dpkg --get-selections | grep install | awk '{print $1}' > fink.install; rm -rf /sw; for $pkg in `cat fink.install`; do fink -y install $pkg; done
