Hi, fellow nervous Fink users & developers,
Now that Steve has "made his mark" and scared the bejesus out of the
userbase, new code is beginning to percolate from the Apple
SkunkWorks. Case in point, XCode Tools 2.1 which comes with (besides
all the Universal Binaries yada-yada), "an updated version of gcc 4.0"
that promises oodles of wonderful things...
For those of us who are testbenching Tiger now, before putting it into
our main HD, have always used source-based Fink and are willing to
wipe the slate and reinstall Fink from scratch, should we use the
default XCode 2 that comes with the Tiger DVD or should we download
and use 2.1 instead?
For completeness sake, does this apply to binary users as well or are
they exempted from installing XCode?

Binary users don't have to worry about XCode versioning at all.
Since XCode 2.1 has only recently been released there may be unforeseen
issues between it and Fink. If you're willing to take the risk of
installing 2.1 and reporting any issues that you find in building Fink
packages, that would be very helpful!
For "production" systems, it's probably best to stick with 2.0 until we
know more.
