First, I switched back to "TheCaptain" branch, and answered NO to using binary distributions. The bad news: There were 'infinitely recursive' directories in /sw/src/fink.build/tar_1.26-4 (similarly later when I installed coreutils). Those are a bear to remove, but I finally managed... The good news: The bootstrap succeeded without error! I ran into another issue installing coreutils, regarding a missing dependency on help2man. I had to modify /sw/fink/10.11/stable/main/finkinfo/devel/help2man-perl.info to add the 10.11 distribution. It now reads: Distribution: << (%type_pkg[custom] = 5123) 10.7, (%type_pkg[custom] = 5124) 10.8, (%type_pkg[custom] = 5162) 10.9, (%type_pkg[custom] = 5182) 10.10, (%type_pkg[custom] = 5182) 10.11 I'm not sure Perl 5182 is correct, but that worked.

The way things are going for me right now, I don’t know if I’m ever going to have time to do that before El Capitan is released.

[Fink-devel] Proposal to create a new distribution for 10.9-10.11
We’ve accumulated a bunch of cruft, and I’d personally like to put 10.7 and 10.8 out to pasture after 10.11 is released. I’m proposing the name “10.9-libc++” to denote when we first started building with libc++. This would replace 10.7 as the real directory to which the symlinks point on 10.9, 10.10, and 10.11. We’d need to investigate further as to whether an in-place upgrade is possible for 10.9 and 10.10 users. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison -- ___ Fink-devel mailing list Fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net List archive: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.devel Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
