The Fink project wants to bring the full world of Unix Open Source
software to Darwin and Mac OS X. It modifies Unix software so that it
compiles and runs on Mac OS X and makes it available for download as a
coherent distribution. Fink uses Debian tools like dpkg and apt-get to
provide powerful binary package management. You can choose whether you
want to download precompiled binary packages or build everything from
source.
Changes:
Automatic resolving of shared library dependancies was added. Major
updates and enhancements were made in preparation for the Tiger
release. More improvements were made to the new notification systems.
Some of the tests were updated.

Error in fink-0.22.0
Error in fink-0.22.0
08/21/2004 12:30 PM
The fink-0.22.0 package manager, which was available briefly in the
unstable tree this past week, had a bug which prevents further
updating via rsync. If you installed this version of fink, you
can recover by running the command
fink install fink-0.21.2-1 which will downgrade fink
to the version in the stable tree, and subsequently running
fink selfupdate
If for any reason those commands don't work, go to
the
fink file release page at sourceforge and download the
file fink-0.22.1.tar.gz . Unpack this file with
tar xfz fink-0.22.1.tar.gz , and then from within the
fink-0.22.1 directory, run the command ./inject.pl
The fink team apologizes for the error, and thanks the user
community for bringing it to our attention quickly.

Fink can be used on OS X 10.4! There are several ways you can update:
A binary installer will be available within a few weeks, for
binary-only
users. In the meantime, new users should bootstrap fink 0.23.10, just
as stable users, below.
For users of the stable tree, we recommend that you delete your
current
fink with sudo rm -Rf /sw and then "bootstrap" an
installation of fink-0.23.10 using
fink-0.23.10.tar.gz--download that file and expand it,
eg. via
tar -xvzf fink-0.23.10.tar.gz. After running the command
./bootstrap.sh in the resulting
fink-0.23.10 directory,
you'll need to run fink selfupdate
For users of the unstable tree, you may be able to upgrade just by
running
fink selfupdate if your version of fink is less than 0.24.6.
It will install fink-0.24.6 for you. After upgrading to 10.4, first
check
that you have the right version of fink by issuing fink --version
. If your version is less than 0.24.6, run fink selfupdate to
get the right version of fink. Then, whether you selfupdated or not,
reinstall the fink package using fink rebuild fink,
and follow that with another fink selfupdate.
Not all packages are working yet under 10.4, but that situation will
improve over the next several weeks. The stable tree contains
substantially
fewer packages than in 10.3, but all of them should compile.
Of course, some wrinkles still need to be ironed out. We encourage
users with mission-critical applications to check in on the mailing
lists to verify whether anyone has had experience with the package in
question before upgrading.

The latest Fink releases, version 0.6.3 (for 10.2) and 0.7.0 (for
10.3),
are now available for both source and binary users. The 0.6.3 release
has
been built on 10.2, while release
0.7.0 has been built on 10.3. This should facilitate better support
for the different platforms.
These new releases incorporate various fixes to the package manager,
many previously
unavailable binary packages have been added and problematic packages
for 10.3 users have been rebuilt.
To complete a new Fink installation you should follow the instructions
posted
here.

Fink 0.4.1 released
Fink 0.4.1 released
09/28/2002 09:51 PMFink is a distribution of ported Unix software for Mac OS X and
Darwin. Fink 0.4.1 was released on September 28th. Various new
features have been added to the package manager; KDE 3 is now part of
the official distribution. This release sports a total of 1132
packages, about ~400 available as binaries.
With Fink 0.4.1, Mac OS X 10.1 is still the operating system of
choice. In fact this will be the last full release of Fink to support
10.1. Mac OS X 10.2 is *NOT* supported with this release! If you are
(like most Fink core developers) already running Mac OS X 10.2
(Jaguar), please refer to http://fink.sourceforge.net/news/jaguar.php
and http://fink.sourceforge.net/news/jag-bootstrap.php for information
on how to test the Jaguar update. Binaries are NOT yet available for
the Jaguar version of fink at this time, so you will need to build
from source.
We are working towards a full (binary and source) Fink 0.5.0 release
aimed at Mac OS X 10.2 currently. Stay tuned!
Happy updating!
Fink 0.5.0a Released
Fink 0.5.0a Released
03/13/2003 10:15 AM
Fink 0.5.0a for Mac OS X 10.2 is now complete. (Note: 0.5.0a is a
final
release, and replaces 0.5.0 which was never officially released.)
This
release includes over 700
binary packages for OS X 10.2 as well as over 1800 source packages
of
all kinds.
The source release and the binary installer are available now,
as well as all binary packages. For information about upgrading, visit
the Upgrade Matrix.
This release is for Mac OS X 10.2 only. 10.1 users should use Fink
0.4.1.
New Fink releases.
New Fink releases.
06/17/2005 05:41 PM
Three new Fink releases are
available
today: version 0.8.0 (for 10.4),
version 0.7.2 (for 10.3), and version 0.6.4 (for 10.2).
All three releases include source files, binary packages, and a Fink
installer for new users.
The new release for 10.4 includes all currently-available "stable"
packages
in source and binary form: there are 1565 of these, which constitutes
more
than 80% of the 1909 packages available in the 10.3 release. Work
continues
by the fink developers on bringing more of the stable packages to
Tiger.
The new release for 10.2 will be the last official release for that
version of Mac OS X. Although no further updates (not even security
updates) will be provided by the Fink team, we anticipate that the
0.6.4 release will be usable for years to come.
Users upgrading to 10.4 can now simply issue a
fink selfupdate command, followed by
sudo /sw/lib/fink/postinstall.pl (for first-time updaters
on 10.4), fink scanpackages and sudo apt-get update.
We don't recommend bootstrapping at the moment, since bootstrapping
does
not work with the newly-released XCode 2.1 from Apple.

10/28/2003 11:07 PM
As you surely noticed, Fink has a logo. This is the result of our
Logo contest held earlier this year.
This new, official, logo has been displayed since the 24th of October
and
those of you who wondered how it has been picked and what the name of
the
winner is should read up in the PR section.
The longer explanation also features a larger version of the logo
itself,
so that you may have a closer look at its details. We like our new
logo,
we hope that you will like it too.
IMPORTANT: We do not yet have a formal licensing agreement for the
new
logo and so are unable to give permission to distribute it.
Currently, it
can only be displayed on the Fink web page. Thank you for your
understanding.

10/28/2003 11:07 PM
Fink is proud to announce that the Fink binary distribution
0.5.2 is available from the download page.
With over 190 new binary packages, KDE, KOffice and KDevelop
binaries amongst other various improvements this is a recommended
download for any new and all existing Fink users.
The full announcement can be read on the fink-announce mailing list.
(If you are having trouble upgrading a source installation, consult
these
special instructions.)
Fink 0.6.1 released
Fink 0.6.1 released
11/02/2003 07:33 PM
The latest Fink release, version 0.6.1, is now available
for both source and binary users. This release was built on OS X 10.2
using the gcc 3.3 compiler, and runs well on OS X 10.3. Most Fink
users who upgrade to 10.3 will want to only use the binaries from this
new distribution for now, while the Fink team continues to modify
Fink packages for 10.3.
If you wish to access the
new binaries, use apt-get, dselect, or the binary mode of
FinkCommander. Unless you are interested in helping the Fink team
to test packages which are compiled on 10.3,
do not use the command-line fink program to do your
installations for the
next few weeks.
The simplest way to upgrade a binary installation is to run
"sudo apt-get update". Further details and
other issues related to upgrading Fink to 10.3 are addressed on the
Special 10.3 upgrade page.
Before using the latest version of
the command-line fink program
under OS X 10.2, be sure to install the August2003gccUpdater,
available
after free registration from connect.apple.com.
Fink 0.6.2 released
Fink 0.6.2 released
11/17/2003 02:07 AM
The latest Fink release, version 0.6.2, is now available
for both source and binary users. This is a bug-fix release, intended
to address two problems: the dselect/user deletion bug, and a
problem with ownership of files. The dselect bug was addressed by
updating the fink, dpkg, and apt packages. After updating to 0.6.2,
it is safe to once again use dselect. However, if you ran dselect
at any time since 0.6.0, you should carefully check the integrity
of the file at /sw/etc/apt/sources.list. If you have
any doubts about this file, you should replace it with
the default sources.list file.
Users who have installed binary files from the 0.6.1 distribution
may find that certain files in their Fink installation are owned
by UID 2011 rather than by root. To correct this problem,
run the command:
sudo find /sw/ -user 2011 -exec chown root:admin {} \;
This release, like the previous one, was built on OS X 10.2
using the gcc 3.3 compiler, and runs fine with some exceptions on OS X
10.3. Most Fink
users who upgrade to 10.3 will continue to
want to only use the binaries from this
new distribution for now, while the Fink team continues to modify
Fink packages for 10.3.
Problems with Fink and Perl 5.8
Problems with Fink and Perl 5.8
12/16/2002 03:16 PMI finally solved the problem with my Fink distribution and my
upgrade to Perl 5.8. Fink kept giving me this error:
dyld: perl Undefined symbols:
_Perl_safefree
_Perl_safemalloc
_Perl_saferealloc
_Perl_sv_2pv
_perl_call_sv
_perl_eval_sv
_perl_get_sv
To fix it all you need to do is this:
mv /sw/lib/perl5/darwin/Storable.pm /tmp
mv /sw/lib/perl5/darwin/auto/Storable /tmp
fink rebuild storable-pm
To upgrade Perl to 5.8 check out this article. I
found the tip on how to fix Fink at dev

representation.
The initial announcement by Macnews is in German, for those of you not
capable of reading German a translated version can be found

Fink and MacWelt hope that many of you will participate as we might
just find some prices for the winners. Good luck and.... start

Yesterday version 0.10.0 of the Fink package manager was
released to the unstable tree, along with version 1.6 of the
base-files package. All Fink users which are using the unstable tree
are recommended to update to this version. The easiest way to do so
usually is to run 'fink selfupdate-cvs' which will automatically take
care of updating these essential packages.
Please report any problems you encounter with this version via
our bug tracker.
