I've had troubles with links doing a copy in the past. But if i archive
with tar and re-install, I get much better results. This assumes that
the machines are nominally running the same OS and tools.
#archive
cd /sw
sudo tar cvfz - . > ~/back/sw.tgz
#restore
cd /sw
#sudo tar xvfz ~/back/sw.tgz
..lj

Dear All,
1. I copied the /sw tree from a fully up-to-date machine at work to a
new laptop, then installed a new copy of FinkCommander on the laptop.
All configurations are identical (rsync, trees used, config files,
etc).
2. While fink selfupdate and fink update-all complete with no
difficulty [either from the fink command-line or using FinkCommander]
in fact on the new laptop they *fail to flag or update* new packages,
with respect to running the same commands on the original machine from
which I made the copy.
Everything else is working fine.
What have I done wrong? (I didn't notice anything from an FAQ
inspection.)
Thanks!!
