--- NEW FILE: README ---
The enclosed script update.pl is designed to update an existing fink
installation from the 10.3 or 10.4-transitional distributions to the 10.4
distribution, on PowerPC hardware only.
This update process is not easy or seamless, and many users will prefer to
erase their old installation and reinstall Fink anew, using the 0.8.1
installer.
Those who wish to run the script and attempt an update should simply issue
the command "./update.pl" from within this directory.
You must be connected to the internet while running this script, as fink will
be downloading package descriptions and source files periodically during the
update.
This script will *not* run unattended: you will need to respond to various
questions along the way.
If the script exits with an error (or if you interrupt it), IT IS VERY
IMPORTANT that you repeatedly run the commands "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
followed by "fink update-all" until no further errors are encountered. If
you fail to do this, you will be left with a partially updated fink
installation which may lead to future, hard-to-debug, errors.
For advice about what to do about errors which this script may generate,
consult the FAQ or ask in the #fink IRC channel on irc.freenode.net
