Hello,
I am pretty sure that I saw somewhere a note about upgrading from 10.7
to 10.8 but I cannot find it anymore. I apologize therefore in
advance if my question is a duplicate (and I will appreciate a pointer
to the first occurrence...).
I am contemplating upgrading my machine to Mac OS 10.8. It appears
that Fink can be upgraded in place. After the OS upgrade I will
therefore do the following:
1. Reinstall the Xcode command-line tools (the 10.8 package this
time)
2. Install XQuartz
3. fink reinstall fink
fink install perl5123-core # is this needed at all?
fink selfupdate
fink update-all
4. Make sure that all the files outside the Fink base directory are
there by doing something like this:
fink reinstall `fink list -it daemonic xinitrc | cut -f2`
fink reinstall `fink --exclude-trees=virtual list -it passwd | \
grep -v "\[virtual" | cut -f2`
fink reinstall `fink --exclude-trees=virtual list -it | \
grep -v "\[virtual" | cut -f2 | xargs fink dumpinfo -finfofile | \
cut -d: -f2 | xargs grep -l "[dD]aemonic" | sort | uniq | \
xargs grep -h -m 1 Package | cut -d: -f2`
Is there anything I am missing and/or doing wrong? This is my main
machine so I just want to be doubly-sure that the upgrade is not going
to break things... Many thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Stefan
