Jaguar and Fink

I asked Max Horn (Fink Project Lead) about what will be the implications for Fink once Jaguar is released. Here is his response:

What will be the right thing to do once Jaguar is released?:
(Besides installing the April Developer Tools)

Quote:


	Do NOT install the April dev tools on Jaguar! There are new dev tools for Jaguar.

Will we have to do a clean install, wiping out everything, then re-installing and re-compiling fink stuff?

Quote:


	That will be the recommended way, yes. You can do otherwise, but on your own risk, and esp. anything C++ related that you used to compile with gcc 2.95 will cause problems once you try to link it against C++ code compiled with gcc 3.1 (the new default in 10.2).

Or having updated to fink 0.10.0, will it work to update to Jaguar on top of preexisting installations?

Quote:


	In certain limits, yes. But you may encounter all sorts of problems, no warranty given.

The way to go seems to be a clean install, and reinstalling all 'things Fink' again.

So, now we know.

Cheers...

Thanks for the info, Sao. I had already pretty much resigned myself to doing a complete wipeout/reinstall of the system, and this is just one more reason.
