I had one comment. After I upgraded to 10.3 including the appropriate SDK's and got the 10.3 info files from rsync, I was still running on the 0.5.3 distribution, and I could not get source code for the 10.3 versions to compile. Only 10.2gcc3.3 source would compile even after I had changed the dist to 10.3 in the fink.conf file. I assumed that there was some script that needed to be changed to get the 10.3 source files to compile. I bit the bullet and did a bootstrap with the 0.6.1 distribution, and I have not had any real problems compiling any 10.3 files since. However, I think you may want to mention in the News item at the top of the Fink home page that if you want to upgrade to the 10.3 dist you need to download and install 0.6.1. Maybe that is obvious to the Fink developers, but it was not obvious to me (maybe I was just being a little dense).
Now, I have one question. What version of perl do you recommend now that Panther has come out? I know Apple's old version of 5.8 was modified and caused all kinds of problems for Fink users. Therefore, I have been using 5.6, but I was wondering if Apple had fixed things with this release, so one can use their 5.8? Alternatively, I could use Fink's 5.8? Have people tried Apple's new 5.8? Would you recommend one of the 5.8s over 5.6 now? I know you guys are busy, so I don't expect any immediate response on this, but I would sure appreciate some input when you have time.
