There may be occasional updates, so it might not hurt to check at some 
low frequency.

[Fink-users] Question regarding fink and OS X 10.6.8

2014-06-09 Thread Doug Wade
Reading the news section of the fink web site: "fink-0.36.5 marks the end of 
10.6 support by the Fink Project. Users who want package updates should contact 
the maintainers of the respective packages. Unmaintained packages can be 
updated by request as well.".

I just want to confirm on my iMac running OS X 10.6.8 that it is now pointless 
scanning for packages or  checking for updates. Not a complaint but just 
checking if I'd just be wasting time. I do have another one running OS X 10.9 
so will just concentrate on that.
