<h1><a href="http://fink.sourceforge.net/news/#2006-07-24%20Reminder%3A%20%2210.4-transitional%22%20Tree%20Unsupported%20on%20August%201st%2C%202006">Reminder: "10.4-transitional" Tree Unsupported on August 1st, 2006</a></h1>

<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>.
