We’re supporting in-place upgrades from 10.9-10.11 to 10.12, since generally 
programs and libraries don’t break when the OS is updated.  We’re essentially 
going to assume that our packages will continue to work on 10.12 unless we find 
out otherwise. The package database will get updated once a new release is out, 
but it will reflect this assumption.

If you want to hold off for a bit, now that the beta phase is winding down I’m 
planning to do a full fink release this weekend to support 10.9-10.12. With 
that you’ll be able to update to the new fink version, update OS X, and then 
use “fink reinstall fink” to point fink to the 10.12-specific packages.

[Fink-beginners] question about fink packages on upcoming sierra

[John Wiggins]

Dear Alexander and volunteers,

I notice there from 
http://www.finkproject.org/news/index.php?phpLang=en
that there is a "github branch named sierra-alpha-bravo for 10.12 development”  
and assume that the main fink project page at 
http://www.finkproject.org/index.php?phpLang=en
would have an update once the fink application itself has been verified.  My 
question involves individual packages.
Before updating MacOS, do I need to examine each package I use for support, 
e.g. a2ps at
http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/a2ps
to see that it lists 10.12, or will there be list of tested/verified packages 
page somewhere?


Thanks for all your support and efforts on our behalf,
jw
