If they are installed, I’d have said copy them over, else you get orphaned
installs:
fink list unison
Information about 9258 packages read in 2 seconds.
*i* unison 2.48.3-1 File synchronization tool
*i* unison-nox 2.48.3-1 File synchronization tool
*i* unison240 2.40.102-1 File synchronization tool
*i* unison245 2.45.28-1 File synchronization tool
*i* unison2483 2.48.3-1 File synchronization tool
(that was messing around when ocaml updated and needing a linux compatible
version). OTOH, anyone with stuff in local probably knows how to manually copy
what they need.
Also, I think I’d have done the copies with flags to preserve the file mod
time: I sometimes use the file mod time to figure out what got built with what
version installed, when I’m having problems with things breaking. Not a big
deal, there are other ways to debug.
I guess once it is all updated I can remove the 10.7 dir on machines that are
short of space?
many thanks,
