In view of simplifying our lives we've got a few options here: 1) EOL 10.5, and defer 10.6 for a while. This could be done essentially immediately, with all of the 10.5 packages being stashed in a 10.5-EOL directory similarly to we do for 10.4. 2) EOL 10.5 and 10.6/i386, keeping 10.6/x86_64 around for a while longer. This will take additional tweaks to fink but I don't know of a reason at this point that precludes this. 3) EOL 10.5 and 10.6. This is probably the simplest option, because it just requires people to stop committing to the 10.4/ tree, and a new fink release which is set only to acknowledge 10.7 and later. Anyway, feedback would be appreciated. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list Fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net List archive: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.devel Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
