willum448 writes "The binaries for Fink 0.6.1 have been released, this version will now work under Panther." I wonder if selfupdate-cvs will work for me now? I had circular dependency issues before.
selfupdate-cvs did work for me, btw, doing update-all now.
Circular dependency

You mean this circular dependency? It's been fixed. Also note that they don't recommend doing selfupdate-cvs anymore. Instead, do selfupdate-rsync once to set the mode to rsync and then just do "fink selfupdate" from then on.
Worth noting....

Free Panther upgrade had no disk 4; am I finked?

Our university gave out free Panther upgrades to all faculty and staff, which was very decent of them.
However, they only gave us *3* CDs, so I don't have the updated compilers or development environment. I'm assuming, therefore, that I can't do anything to upgrade Fink until I can the tech people here to give me a copy of CD 4, right?
I knew this would come back to bite me, but since I got what amounted to hundreds of dollars worth of free sofware...

As for dports being in panther, a combination of technical issues (dports not being in a state they were willing to support forever) and political issues, it got pulled. I don't know if there are plans to re-add it in a later release.
As for metapkg, the idea of a huge database of packages kind of died out, but we've started trying to fill out the wiki with useful porting info, hopefully in time it will become more useful.
Also, the mailing lists are there for anyone wanting to post problems, but we're getting about 2 e-mails a month, so it's not really happened much.:)
Metpkg was never going to be a new joint packaging system, only a resource for all of the packaging groups to avoid some duplication of work by sharing patches for ported software and compilation tips and such.

You must not be doing what you think. it would not build on 10.3, even the fink people said so.

yeah, I missed the boat on the G4 and Panther...my Toshiba Protege 3110CT decided to die a week before classes started so I needed a laptop *now*...I ended buying an iBook 9/06 or well outside Panther...d'oh...
However, I love my iBook to death and really don't care which tells me I made a good choice.

when you install that, you need to look into doing a custom install if you want the X11 SDK installed.
I didn't. Then I installed fink. Upon adding add'l software via fink, I found that I needed the SDK.

You should use AdiumX on your Mac.

So I'm reinstalling Xcode now, w/ the SDK.
