Instructions should also be included for an upgrade-in-place from the 10.3
tree, since that is also still supported.

Fink users on PowerPC machines are advised to update their copies of
fink from the old 10.4-transitional tree to the more recent 10.4
tree. We plan to discontinue the 10.4-transitional tree
by the end of July, 2006.
/pp
Some background: along with OS X 10.4 came a new version of the g++ compiler
(one of the workhorses of Fink), which produced code that was binary
incompatible with previous versions. Fink, when using the 10.4-transitional
tree, mixes the new gcc-4.0 compiler with the older g++-3.3 compiler.
This strategy gave us some extra time to make packages compatible with
g++-4.0. The time has now come to complete that transition, and rely
exclusively on the newer tree. The update, however, is slightly
complicated since all packages using or providing g++ libraries must
be rebuilt in the correct order.
/pp
If you are using OS X 10.4, you can
find out if you need to update your Fink installation
by running the command
fink --version. If the Distribution version is 0.8.1.cvs
or 0.8.1.rsync, you do not need to update. However, if the
Distribution version is 0.8.0.cvs or 0.8.0.rsync, you should update,
as described below.
/p

Many users will prefer to remove their fink installations and
start anew with the 0.8.1 installer. Others will prefer to use the
a
href=http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/fink/scripts-10.4-update-0.3.tar.gz?download;10.4-update
tarball (v. 0.3)/a (around 12 MB), which includes
precompiled versions of the basic fink packages as well as a script which
will attempt to update an existing fink installation. Please consult
the README file which you will find within the 10.4-update directory
(after unpacking the tarball) for further instructions.
