The reason I didn't suggest that is because the 10.3 tree (which dists will point at) is empty, so there's nothing to install if you use that branch... -- Benjamin Reed a.k.a.

I will copy /sw from my Jaguar partition onto my Panther partition, and fink selfupdate-cvs; fink update-all; news at 11. I was referring to checking out and injecting fink (the program) from source. The cvs version has a few provisions for the upcoming panther support. -- Benjamin Reed a.k.a.
