I would like to mention two minor issues with the Fink
0.7.1 Binary.
a) If you choose to install the /sw directory on a
volume other than the OS X boot volume, the installer
will also place the bom archive ("receipt") on that
other volume. In my case, it created its own
Library/Receipts/Fink 0.7.1 Installer.pkg folder
hierarchy on the selected volume.
Am I right to assume that it should have been placed
it in the boot volume's /Library/Receipts folder
instead? In that case, the binary installer for Fink
could probably be modified to that end.
and
b) I would like to flag my /sw folder as invisible
using the DevTool's SetFile command (which is in my
path and works correctly). However, issuing
SetFile -a V /Volumes/OtherVolume/sw
gives me an "unexpected error (-5000)." message, and
GUI-based file modification tools (I used Modifier
Lite) do not succeed either. I suspect that ownership
/ permissions might have to do with it.
Can someone please advise?
