I've put fink-0.24.10-11 into the 0.7.2-updates section of the bindist,
which should hopefully improve the upgrade situation.

I promised to check out the update and report on the success. It seems to work!
So I rewound my old 10.3ish /sw from backup and tried a binary

Hello list,
I have been, unsuccessfully, trying to upgrade my fink 0.7.2
distribution to 0.8.0 after I upgraded to Tiger (10.4.2). My fink
setup is plain vanilla binary. I got XCode 2.0 installed.
So I figured it should be possible to perform an easy upgrade,
without trashing /sw and

I wonder how this process would enable fink to find out about a new

Not really: It knows about 8.0 and 8.1, but when it was released,
8.2 was in the future. It does the right thing for 8.2, however,
namely apart from the warning it treats it the same as 8.0 or 8.1.
This is the difference to the one from your old bindist 0.7.2 which
treated the 8.x darwin
Wow, that's a blazingly fast response to this problem! Thanks for
that... So I was wrong in assuming that the situation couldn't be
fixed any more, as Dave Vasilevsky correctly pointed out...
Would this actually mean that the instructions on the website could
be correct now? I guess I could
I think you want to tell fink to use the 10.4 transitional tree. I
believe I did this through fin commander, and then, of course, many
of the packages I had installed became outdated immediately.

I don't have the prior thread, so I don't know what method (binary or

Alexander,
thanks so much for following up on my problems. The main point I'm
having is that I don't want to use the source distribution, hence
CVS/rsync is definitely out of the question for me. Thanks for
pointing out the relevant entries in the FAQ, but they only apply to
the source

Still, I don't understand what the underlying mechanism should be that
brings the distro from 10.3 to 10.4.
The mechanism is that postinstall.pl looks on what system it is running
