I have just being subjected to what Apple.com euphemistcally calls an
upgrade from 10.2 to 10.3. That done I started with Fink. Now don't get
me wrong, I think Fink is great, but I don't understand why Fink even
needs to exist. Apple should be responsible for what Fink is providing.
As I see it Apple without Fink is crippled. That said, I'm finding the
Fink upgrade process for Mac OS X 10.3 is taking DAYS!!!! I respectfully
proffer that some sort of CD solution be made available. My internet
provider will not allow me to keep my download connection open for the
amount of time necessary for a smooth install. 50MB packages need to
broken up into smaller chunks. As things are now, Fink packages are
getting truncated left and right, segmentation faults are sprouting up
with basic commands, my vital command-line xterm environment is getting
increasingly unstable.
Fink's curl uses the -f -L -o options but why not -C ?
Is there any chance I could just buy some CDs (how about a T-shirt too)
after my computer gets mauled by the Tiger?
My plan, actually my only other option short of wiping out /sw and
starting over, is to continue nibbling away at the enormous Fink archive
downloads and *hope* for the best.
