There is not currently a way within fink to stick with the "point" distribution and get the new version of fink. I am working on a solution to this, but at the moment, a user who did a binary install can run 'fink selfupdate-cvs' which will update correctly to the latest stable fink. (Doing 'fink selfupdate-rsync' does not work initially, but can be done after the selfupdate-cvs if desired.)
The only downside is that XCode must be installed first, but that would have been true for someone wanting to swtich to either cvs or rsync methods in any case. -- Dave On Jul 6, 2008, at 1:25 AM, Charles Lepple wrote: > I think someone just ran into a similar problem on #fink.
