In addition, if folks want to test out “Captain-10.9-libc++”, which is the same as TheCaptain (eventually the same as master) but using the new 10.9-libcxx tree, so that we can work on update scenarios, that’d be great. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [email protected] List archive: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.devel Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
