I just wanted to document some things I noticed during my Mountain Lion upgrade.
First, when running "fink reinstall fink", and any fink commands in fact, I get a spew of dialogs telling me to get XQuartz and install it manually. Not a big deal, but there are a lot of dialogs in rapid succession which is mildly annoying. I gather this is from VirtPackage.pm checking for the presence of x11, which happens multiple times when fink is run. Installing XQuartz makes it stop. :) Next I got repeated messages about not being able to create the fink-bld user. It seems that the Mountain Lion installer wipes out all the fink-installed users. To fix this I needed to run "fink configure" and select "Y" when it asks to create UIDs dynamically. Related to that, I had to reinstall my previously installed passwd-* packages to get those users back. I was then able to "fink reinstall fink" and "fink install perl5123-core" to get my existing fink up and running. I did have an issue with X11. First, I needed to run /Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app manually to use x11 packages. Then when I tried running fontforge, I had missing text and a bunch of warnings about pango. After some experimentation, I found that rebuilding gtk+2-shlibs fixed my text issues. Fontforge seems to work fine, but that's all I really tested. I don't have much x11 software installed at the moment. I don't have qt4-x11 installed, though qt4-mac works fine. I'll be testing more of my packages over the next few days and will post more if I encounter more issues.
