One need not enable the unstable tree ; there are a couple of alternatives: 1) Binary-only: sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade should bring a newer fink that was added as an update to the binary distribution 2) Via source: fink selfupdate-cvs (after installing Xcode) should also bring a newer fink. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [email protected] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.beginners
