Hello,

I am pretty sure that I saw somewhere a note about upgrading from 10.7
to 10.8 but I cannot find it anymore.  I apologize therefore in
advance if my question is a duplicate (and I will appreciate a pointer
to the first occurrence...).

I am contemplating upgrading my machine to Mac OS 10.8.  It appears
that Fink can be upgraded in place.  After the OS upgrade I will
therefore do the following:

1.  Reinstall the Xcode command-line tools (the 10.8 package this
    time)

2.  Install XQuartz

3.  fink reinstall fink
    fink install perl5123-core  # is this needed at all?
    fink selfupdate
    fink update-all

4.  Make sure that all the files outside the Fink base directory are
    there by doing something like this:

    fink reinstall `fink list -it daemonic xinitrc | cut -f2`

    fink reinstall `fink --exclude-trees=virtual list -it passwd | \
    grep -v "\[virtual"  | cut -f2`

    fink reinstall `fink --exclude-trees=virtual list -it | \
    grep -v "\[virtual" | cut -f2 | xargs fink dumpinfo -finfofile | \
    cut -d: -f2 | xargs grep -l "[dD]aemonic" | sort | uniq | \
    xargs grep -h -m 1 Package | cut -d: -f2` 

Is there anything I am missing and/or doing wrong?  This is my main
machine so I just want to be doubly-sure that the upgrade is not going
to break things...  Many thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Stefan
