Yup. We've never supported any PowerPC -> Intel migration option. The following one-liner will capture all of the real (rather than virtual) packages fink list -it | grep -v " p " | grep -v "\[" | cut -f2 and you can capture that output into a text file so that you can make the rebuild/reinstall procedure more automated. Any Ideas on how long Fink will > take to get a 10.6 version up? It's available now, for sources only. As for a binary installer: there are a significant number of packages that are known not to work, so we may have to wait until enough of those get fixed up. Probably several months.

We can't really control how your computer is administered. :-) One of the core developers found himself in the same situation while using a computer which wasn't his; and ultimately gave up on trying to come up with a way to grant non-root access. It was just too much of a pain. At the last OS revision, it took several > months for a 10.5 fink, so I'm not hopeful. > That was for the binary distribution. The source distribution worked at that time, if I recall correctly (since OS releases invariably come while I'm preparing for an annual meeting, I always wind up updating later). > > Robert A.
