I just released fink-0.39.0. People on 10.9 or 10.10 can install this version of fink—you will likely need to run “fink selfupdate” again after updating fink to download the package descriptions from the new distribution tree. After that, you can update to El Capitan, and you will then need to run “fink reinstall fink” to target the 10.11 distribution. We’ll get that on the website at some point. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list Fink-users@lists.sourceforge.net List archive: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.macosx.fink.user Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
