If you are only using the binary installer (via apt-get and dselect) then you do not need the update. If you only install packages whose source files are installed in locations other than sourceforge.net, then you do not need the update. If you do not mind finding the sourcefiles at sourceforge yourself, downloading them, and putting them into /sw/src, then you do not need the update. But if you want fink to be able to find things at sourceforge by itself, then you need the update. In the update, we changed all of the lines in fink packages of the form Source: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/BLAH to a new, more complicated thing which grabs the files from one of the new "sourceforge mirrors". -- Dave _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
