Hi, Is there a specific reason that http://fink.sourceforge.net/CURRENT-FINK contains "0.5.4", while the latest release according to the site is 0.6.2?
I recently wanted to update a fink version which was not using CVS or rsync, but just point releases, and got this: % fink --version Package manager version: 0.12.1 Distribution version: 0.5.2 [...] % fink selfupdate (1) Delete it and download again (2) Assume it is a partial download and try to continue (3) Don't download, use existing file The file "CURRENT-FINK" already exists, how do you want to proceed? [1] rm -f CURRENT-FINK curl -f -L -O http://fink.sourceforge.net/CURRENT-FINK [...] You already have the package descriptions from the latest Fink point release. (installed:0.5.2 available:0.5.4) Huh: the last note surprised me: why does it say that I have the latest "Fink point release", even though a newer version is available? Does this mean that common end-users also need to use selfupdate-rsync? Regards, Freek ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
