We’re supporting in-place upgrades from 10.9-10.11 to 10.12, since generally programs and libraries don’t break when the OS is updated. We’re essentially going to assume that our packages will continue to work on 10.12 unless we find out otherwise. The package database will get updated once a new release is out, but it will reflect this assumption. If you want to hold off for a bit, now that the beta phase is winding down I’m planning to do a full fink release this weekend to support 10.9-10.12. With that you’ll be able to update to the new fink version, update OS X, and then use “fink reinstall fink” to point fink to the 10.12-specific packages. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison
