+ <headline>Fink and Lion--updated.</headline>
+ <body>
+ <p>OS X 10.7 "Lion" was released on July 20, 2011. We want to let Fink
+ users know what to expect if updating.</p>
+<p>First, the <code>fink</code>
+program itself will not run on a system which has
+been upgraded to Lion. However, it will be possible to use the
+<code>dpkg</code> program to extract a list of the Fink packages
+which had been installed under 10.6, so that they can be reinstalled
+under 10.7. Use</p>
+<p><code>dpkg --get-selections | cut -f1 > fink_packages.txt</code></p>
+<p>to extract the packages, and</p>
+<p><code>cat fink_packages.txt | xargs fink install</code></p>
+<p>once you have installed Fink for 10.7.</p>
+<p>To upgrade fink after upgrading to Lion, one will have to bootstrap
+Fink again, using a tarball for fink-0.31.0 or later.</p>
+<p>Second, due to lots of changes under the hood, there currently are many
fewer
+Fink packages which build under 10.7 as opposed to 10.6.
+Thus, even if you've extracted a list of Fink packages which had
+been installed under 10.6, some of them may not yet be installable under
+10.7. We are currently creating a database showing which packages
+can be successfully installed under 10.7, and work is ongoing to add
packages.</p>
+<p>10.7 introduces several drastic changes to how the system works. While this
may
+cause a slight delay in full Fink functionality in the short term, it will
+make Fink work better in the future.</p>
