If you're still on 0.8.0 there isn't a direct upgrade path, and you'll probably want just to do your OS upgrade and then do a clean Fink install for 10.5 (since otherwise you'd have to do a bunch of recompiling for 0.8.0 -> 0.8.1 on 10.4 before upgrading to 10.5). If you're on 0.8.1, then do a final "fink selfupdate" with rsync or cvs updating under OS 10.4 to insure you're on fink-0.27.10, install OS 10.5, and then do "fink reinstall fink ; fink selfupdate". After that you should be good to update non-base packages, as needed. -- Alexander K.
