This should be fine--Fink is set up such that packages you build will
work on any Mac (except for packages that specifically won't work on a
G3).
One issue. Some packages have an affect on the system so this method is
NOT 100%. I have not found a list of these packages, but it seems to
be relatively short. The one I know for sure is "passwd".
But this can be easily dealt with by doing a reinstall. { Example: fink
reinstall passwd}

passwd and daemonic both do things outside the Fink tree, as well as
xfree86.

Since I am using some source packages I am wondering if the packages are compiled specifically for G3 or G4, depending on which Processor fink is run. Thanks, Markus I've had good success using a technique explained by Benjamin Reed on his blog: http://ranger.befunk.com/blog/archives/000258.html Text of the blog entry: Sharing the Fink I was recently asked how to share software between more than one fink installation. This is usually because the person has 2 (or more) machines, only one of which is fast. =) It's pretty easy to share binaries you've built on one system with another. Here's how (keep in mind these instructions will generally only work if each system is running the same major version of Mac OS X): Install Fink on the "master" (build) system. (If the clients already have fink installed, you can skip this step.) Copy /sw to the "client" systems. First you must enable "Remote Login" on the "master" box. Then, run the following on each of the "client" machines: sudo rsync -avzr -e ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/sw/ /sw/ Just replace [EMAIL PROTECTED] above with the username and hostname of the system to copy from. This will make a clone of the fink installation on your "master" box on each of the clients. On the "master" box, build something, and then run "fink scanpackages". This will make fink generate apt indexes for all of your enabled trees. On the "master" box, enable "Personal Web Sharing" in the Sharing section of System Preferences, and then set up httpd to expose your /sw/fink directory externally. I do so by making an /etc/httpd/users/fink.conf file that contains: Alias /fink /sw/fink Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ...and then run "sudo /usr/sbin/apachectl graceful" to (re)start. On the "client" box(es), edit /sw/etc/apt/sources.list, and add the lines representing your fink trees. For example, if my IP address of my build box at home is 192.168.42.7, the client would add: deb http://192.168.42.7/fink stable main crypto deb http://192.168.42.7/fink unstable main crypto deb http://192.168.42.7/fink local main On the "client" box(es), run "sudo apt-get update". If all goes well, you should see something like: Hit http://192.168.42.7 stable/main Packages Hit http://192.168.42.7 stable/main Release Hit http://192.168.42.7 stable/crypto Packages ...and so on You should then be able to do "sudo apt-get install " for anything that's been built on the "master" box. Any time you build more stuff there, you will need to re-run "fink scanpackages" on the master, and "sudo apt-get update" on the client(s). === I use this technique to build unstable packages on my G4 Dual, and then update two laptops from the G4.
