I looked in the installing and updating fink sections hoping to find out what to do when updating OSX and didn't find mention of it, though it must be a fairly common thing people need to do. I then didn't recognise the heading in the FAQ (new developer tools) as also describing my situation (new version of OSX which includes new dev tools but that's not the main way I was thinking about it...) As ever, seems like all the info is there, but maybe could use another pointer to it under the downloads section (where the upgrade matrix lives) and under FAQ 4 about upgrading fink. I didn't scan through FAQ 5 on using fink because I thought I had an upgrade problem... cheers, -- Viv Dr Viv Kendon[EMAIL PROTECTED] QOLS tel: 020 7594 7746 Blackett Laboratory Imperial College London --- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 ___ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users

I tried to get a newer copy of inject.pl by downloading the latest fink install, but it is too deeply buried inside the package contents to be extracted (by the non-techie) without installing the whole thing. My primary concern here is not to lose the set of packages I currently have installed, and to keep all the still useful .debs -- I can't afford the compiling time to redo everything from source (though of course I will recompile anything that needs it). What is the best way forward from here*? * here is the result of upgrading OSX from 10.2.8 to 10.3 with an up-to-date unstable fink on 10.2-gcc3.3; editing fink.conf to point to 10.3, but failing to fix /sw/fink/dists to point to 10.3 for a while, then fixing it by hand, then running self-update, which updated fink correctly, but half the useful debs are still in the 10.2-gcc3.3 tree so I can't uninstall/reinstall to swap between conflicting packages without recompiling them. fink --version: Package manager version: 0.21.1 Distribution version: 0.7.0.cvs I don't mind installing a new fink from scratch so long as I can harvest and reuse the .debs thanks! -- Viv Dr Viv Kendon[EMAIL PROTECTED] QOLS tel: 020 7594 7746 Blackett Laboratory Imperial College London --- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 ___ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users

OK, I guess it isn't simple. In the absense of warnings to the contrary on the fink website, I had thought that fink would just sort itself out when I went from Jaguar to Panther two weeks ago, or I would have sorted it all then when I had time. Problem is now I'm up against a deadline, I'll be on the road from tomorrow with limited online downloading opportunities. I'm prefetching the sources where possible, but there's days of compiling to redo all the stuff I have installed and use on a daily basis. If I still had my dual G4 up and running I'd have set it going and grabbed the results for my TiBook. I guess I'll find then mv all the .debs (and sources)to somewhere safe, reinstall fink from scratch, point apt-get at the .deb stash, binary install what I can and see how things stand. I suspect most will be fine, I was running Xfree4.4 before and after the OSX upgrade, so that hasn't changed, I did an archive install of 10.3 so that is clean and I don't have anything in /usr/local. BTW, I'm pretty sure xfig 3.2.4 still has a resizing bug, I'll try to confirm that once I've got my system straightened out and can swap between 3.2.3d and 3.2.4 and the versions of gs smoothly...
