fink on mac os x is great... if you like having to leave your workstation alone compiling code for hours. no really it's nice. i would like it to do some intelligent stuff like checking for precompiled packages and using them instead of compiling it's own. baby G4 Ti book is only running at 333mhz so i feel the pain.

i don't like running "fink update-all" as if one package dies the whole thing dies. instead, run a little script to get the latest updates, and update them one at a time.

fink -y -q selfupdate ;for i in `fink -y list |egrep -i '\(i\)' |awk '{print $2}'` ;do fink -y -q update $i ;done
