Fink

Le projet Fink a pour but d'ouvrir toutes grandes les portes du monde des logiciels Open Source Unix à Darwin et à Mac OS X. Nous modifions les logiciels Unix pour qu'ils compilent et tournent sur Mac OS X (nous les "portons") et en faisons une distribution cohérente téléchargeable. Fink utilise des outils de gestion de paquets binaires Debian, tels dpkg et apt-get. Vous avez le choix entre le téléchargement des paquets binaires précompilés ou la construction des paquets à partir des sources. Voir la suite...

2009-10-30: Servers back to normal.-

Our user services have been restored. On Oct 28th the Web site and some of the mirrors (rsync, source files, binary distribution) were restored, and on Oct 30th all of our main rsync mirrors were operational. Once again, we apologise for the inconvenience. Thanks for your patience and support.

2009-10-24: Server issues-

We have had server issues and as a result the Web site and the official binary distribution are down, and the rsync servers are stalled. Whilst we sort this out, you may:

  • (Web site) Use http://fink.thetis.ig42.org if you need Web site information
  • (selfupdate) If you use rsync as your selfupdate method then edit /sw/etc/fink.conf and replace the line that starts with Mirror-rsync with Mirror-rsync: rsync://fink.gecko.ig42.org/finkinfo/
  • (source files) Edit /sw/etc/fink.conf and replace the line that starts with Mirror-master with Mirror-master: http://fink-dist.gecko.ig42.org
  • (bindist) Edit /sw/etc/fink.conf and replace the line that starts with Mirror-apt: with Mirror-apt: http://fink-bindist.gecko.ig42.org
  • (bindist) Edit /sw/etc/apt/sources.list and replace http://bindist.finkmirrors.net/bindist with http://fink-bindist.gecko.ig42.org
  • Run fink scanpackages.

We apologise for the inconvenience.

2009-08-28: Fink on 10.6.-

Fink is ready to be used on Snow Leopard (OS X v. 10.6). Users will need to choose between a 32-bit version of fink and a 64-bit version of fink for 10.6. The 32-bit version has more packages available at the present time, but the 64-bit version represents the future direction for OS X and for fink; individual users must make this decision on their own. It will not be possible to "upgrade" from 32-bit to 64-bit (or vice versa), without completely reinstalling fink.

At the moment, two methods are available for installing Fink on Snow Leopard. A binary installer is not available, so it is important to first install XCode from the Optional Installs folder on the Snow Leopard disk. Users wanting the 64-bit version, or users upgrading directly from 10.4 or earlier, must bootstrap fink from the distribution tarball (version 0.29.9 or later), available at sourceforge.net; installation instructions are here. On the other hand, users can upgrade directly from 10.5 to the 32-bit version, following the instructions below. (One warning: users who have installed a development version of fink from CVS rather than a released version may encounter trouble; please downgrade your fink to a released version, and remove stray .deb files of higher versions, before beginning.)

To upgrade, follow a four step process. Step 1: edit the file /sw/etc/fink.conf, adding a line to it which reads NoAutoIndex: true (You may need to use sudo to obtain the correct permissions to edit this file.) Step 2: run the command fink reinstall fink in order to tell fink that you are now on 10.6. (If you encounter a message about package database corruption, run fink index -f and try this step again.) Step 3: run the command fink update fink to get the latest fink for 10.6. Step 4: run the command fink install perl588-core to replace the version of perl which Apple changed during the OS X upgrade, in case you have fink packages which depend on it.

After the upgrade, you may wish to run fink configure to do some cleanup.

Almost all of the packages in fink's stable tree will compile on 10.6, but be warned that only a fraction of the 10.5 packages are currently available for 10.6. In the near future, fink's package database will be updated to include information about packages for 10.6; you can check there to see if your favorite package is ready.
