Fink Binaries for Panther Released

Posted by pudge on from the bring-on-the-fink dept.

    I now have one less reason not to upgrade now...although I must admit, I'm happy with my iBook as is...G4 and Panther two months after I bought it now withstanding...

      from what I hear, you got a coupon.

      but the real question is, why did you buy it if panther was coming out?

    As I remember, Panter was supposed to include some sort of package manager; this was mentioned on MacSlash recently I think.

    What happened with that? Do any developers have any insights?

    Good question. All I know is that earlier this summer, a GUI frontend for DarwinPorts appeared in a Panther build, only to be withdrawn later. I'd like to know what happened too.

    Also, what's going on with the metapkg alliance? Sounded promising, but doesn't look like there's much activity. Looks like Fink is the de facto packaging standard on OS X for now.

    How about FInkCommander? A GUI for Fink.
