[Fink-beginners] Archive Question

[David Hampson]

I would like to copy my fink files to take over to my sister's house, and install things there. I think that copying the entire /sw directory is overkill, and copying /src would require hours of compiling.

I tried copying /sw/fink/10.2/ and /sw/fink/debs/ from my Desktop computer to my Laptop, but fink still wanted to grab about half of the binaries from the web. Before installing, FinkCommander listed _some_ files as "archived", and those were easy to reinstall.

What is the best way to archive the already compiled files and let fink know that they are ready-to-go?

Unfortunately what is little recognized is that the most worthwhile scientific books are those in which the author clearly indicates what he does not know; for an author most hurts his readers by concealing difficulties.
