Perhaps Daniel was referring to the instructions on the homepage about installing on tiger (and he's correct that downloading this source package isn't one of them), but there doesn't appear to be any method given for installing a new fink on tiger?
Does anyone know the best way to install the unstable branch from source on a fresh tiger install?
Well, for installing a fresh Fink on tiger, there is this on the Fink home page:
For users of the stable tree, we recommend that you delete your current fink with sudo rm -Rf /sw and then "bootstrap" an installation of fink-0.23.9 using fink-0.23.9.tar.gz--download that file and expand it, eg. via tar -xvzf fink-0.23.9.tar.gz. After running the command ./bootstrap.sh in the resulting fink-0.23.9 directory, you'll need to run fink selfupdate
Now just combine this with the usual instructions for activating the unstable tree and you are set. That is, after doing the above, you edit your Trees line in /sw/etc/fink.conv and run selfupdate again. That's all.
