The default option on an OS upgrade is to say it's not supported, unless we know that it works--we haven't officially decided whether an upgrade path should be implemented or not between 10.9 and 10.10, but since they use the same C++ library it seems like it might be feasible. You can edit /sw/lib/perl5/Fink/Engine.pm and add a line around line 248 that reads $valid_upgrade = 1 if ($osversion eq "10.10" and $distribution eq "10.9"); and then use "fink reinstall fink" if you want to check out the in-place strategy. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?
