As others have mentioned, fink already supports Tiger. I'd like to take this time, however, to make sure everyone's aware of DarwinPorts. For reasons I completely forget, now, I've preferred DarwinPorts to Fink since I started using OS X.
Hmm, I've looked at posting on the Fink website -- looks more like ›support‹ than support to me ... ;-) I'll wait for the new version! BTW, I've also looked at the DarwinPorts but they seem to require the presence of the Developer tool. And I'm not a programmer and wouldn't like to pile them on my harddrive.
Makes no difference, you need them for Fink as well [1]
The whole purpose of Fink and Darwinports is to make it easier for you to install software that requires compiling. There are some pre-compiled packages in Fink I believe, but afaik not for everything.
