Re: [Fink-users] move it or lose it?

I have always used tar to move a fink installation. I just make a tar archive of /sw and move it and then untar it. The only packages that I am aware of that install outside of the /sw tree are g77 and X11. HTH Phil On Monday, August 25, 2003, at 05:17 PM, Jens Nockel wrote: But the the last li

Dear Matt Richardson: Carbon Copy Cloner uses something called psync, which is like rsync except it respects resource forks. Hopefully nothing in /sw needs this, so rsync should be able to work fine. But it can't hurt to use psync. For what it is worth I routinely copy the whole /sw directory

Joe, Fink isn't ready for 10.3 yet, although the fink developers are working on it. If you do a binary-only installation of fink (i.e., using apt-get, dselect, or the binary option in FinkCommander), then things should mostly work, I believe. However, to compile things yourself is trickier. Bas
