Dear fink developers, There has been a small change to the bootstrap, related to my recent project to make Fink compatibile with newer versions of perl. There are two additional packages present in the bootstrap now: storable-pm560 and system-perl580. Only one of these will actually be built when bootstrapping fink, and the user will have to choose which one (in the middle of the bootstrap, unfortunately). However, I have tested this, and fink can now be bootstrapped when /usr/bin/perl is either version 5.6.0 or version 5.8.0.
(This is all partly based on a guess that the developer preview for 10.3 will have perl 5.8.0: i'm tyring to get ready for that in advance.) If anyone else tests this, please let me know how it goes. -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The best thread debugger on the planet.
