Hi all. I have a question about the page titled "Upgrade Instructions for Mac OS X 10.3". I was running an old installation of fink (circa 0.2.x) but have decided to start fresh.
The first paragraph says, "... the binary version is much more stable and reliable than the source version." Later, we read, "If you wish to do a fresh install of Fink on a 10.3 system, we recommend bootstrapping from source ..."
So, which is it? I'm competent with all the tools, so I'm comfortable doing either. It's just that the notes on this page don't make a lot of sense. To be clear, am I correct that this page describes how to upgrade a (reasonably new) fink install to make use of the 10.3 tools?

The bit about bootstrapping from source is a bit out of date--it probably showed up during the 10.2 -> 10.3 transition period.
There have been two 10.3-only binary distribution releases since then, so it should be fine to use.
