We did: 2005-06-09: New Fink releases. Three new Fink releases are available today: version 0.8.0 (for 10.4), version 0.7.2 (for 10.3), and version 0.6.4 (for 10.2). All three releases include source files, binary packages, and a Fink installer for new users. That's why > I did it this way (well, that and my innate gullibility that had me > believing it).

Since most users followed the 10.2->10.3->10.4 sequence, their fink-installed dlcompats got retired. > And thanks so much, Dave, for the perl snippet to clear the decks.
