Re: [Fink-beginners] Recommendations for upgrading to Yosemite (OSX 10.10)

[Richard B. <ri...@on...>]

"fink selfupdate-cvs" got 0.38.0 onto my rMBP. Before I did the upgrade to
Yosemite I ensured that all the fink packages were themselves updated
through 0.38.0.

After the upgrade, I think I have everything that needed updating after the
change. And it still works!

It was remarkably painless!
Thanks again,
R.
