<p>
The "10.4-transitional" tree was created as an interim solution to the issues of
incompatibilities between binaries made using GCC 3.3 (the default Mac OS X 10.3
compiler) and GCC 4.0 (the default Mac OS X 10.4 compiler). Now that the work to
move Fink to using GCC 4.0 is essentially finished, we will be stopping official
support of the "10.4-transitional" tree in favor of the "10.4" tree as of August
1st, 2006.
</p>
<p>You should not need to do anything if "fink --version" prints "0.8.1.cvs" or "0.8.1.rsync".</p>
<p>
As we mentioned <a href="
http://fink.sourceforge.net/news#2006-07-01%20July%20is%20%22Fink%20Update%20Month%22">previously</a>,
there are 2 ways to make the switch to the supported "10.4" tree.
</p>
<p>
The simplest way is to remove your Fink installation by deleting it and
installing fresh using the 0.8.1 installer available from the <a href="
http://fink.sourceforge.net/download">download page</a>.
</p>
<p>
Alternately, to preserve your Fink installation, download the
<a href="
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/fink/scripts-10.4-update-0.4.tar.gz?download">upgrade script</a>
and read the README for instructions on how to upgrade your existing installation in-place.
This will re-build your Fink installation from source, upgrading everything in the process.
Be warned, it can take a lot of time, depending on your fink installation!
</p>
<p>
Feedback on the upgrade script has been very positive; many users have already
made the switch. If you have problems, please feel free to mail your issues to
the <a href="
http://fink.sourceforge.net/lists">discussion lists</a>.
