Since the 10.6 upgrade instructions are about to get pushed off the news
page, I've got a draft for a full upgrade document, which will also be
accessible via the navigation bar after some tweaking.
<h1>Upgrade Instructions for Mac OS X 10.6</h1>
<h2>Important Note:</h2>
<p>If you've been using Xquartz 2.4 on 10.5, you will probably find it
easier to do a <a href="./srcdist.php">clean install</a> from source
instead.<p><br>
<p>To upgrade your Fink installation from 10.5/32 bit to 10.6/32 bit
(there is no direct upgrade path from earlier OS versions), follow the
sequence below:</p>
<ol>
<li>Before installing OS X 10.6, run <pre>fink selfupdate</pre> with
rsync or cvs updating turned on to bring <em>fink</em> to a current
version.<br>
Use <pre>fink -V</pre> to check your package manager version, which
needs to be at least 0.29.10 before updating.</li>
<li>Edit the file <em>/sw/etc/fink.conf</em>, adding a line to it
which reads <strong>NoAutoIndex: true</strong>.
(You may need to use <em>sudo</em> to obtain the correct permissions
to edit this file.)</li>
<li>Install OS X 10.6, as well as Xcode 3.2.</li>
<li>Run the command <pre>fink reinstall fink</pre> in order to tell
<em>fink</em> that you are now on 10.6.
(If you encounter a message about package database corruption, run
<pre>fink index -f</pre> and try this step again.)</li>
<li>Run the command <pre>fink update fink</pre> to get the latest
<em>fink</em> for 10.6.</li>
<li>Run the command <pre>fink install perl588-core</pre> to replace
the version of perl which Apple changed during the OS X upgrade, in case
you have Fink packages which depend on it.</li>
<li>Remove the <strong>NoAutoIndex: true</strong> line from
<em>fink.conf</em>.</li>
<li>Run the command <pre>find /sw/lib -name *.la -delete</pre> to
remove references to files that don't exist any more on 10.6.</li>
</ol>
<p>After the upgrade, you may wish to run <pre>fink configure</pre> to
do some cleanup.</p>
<p>You can now run an rsync or cvs selfupdate to get updated package
descriptions.</p>
Hopefully this covers the extra issues that we've found along the way.
If there aren't any objections to the text, I'll add it.
