Long Install
I like the concept of Fink Commaner, but I used it to install Postfix the other day and it took over 4 hrs to complete! That seems a bit long to me. I installed the same thing on another machine using CLI manually and it took less than 30 mins.
RE: Long Install
I don't think it is a Fink Commander issue, but I did a "Funk update-all" command in it and it took two full days (36 hours) to complete. I remember it taking nearly as long when I did the same thing in the terminal. Actually, Fink Commander sped things up by its ability to "assume default" whenever a promt came up, thus keeping things moving along. But I don't understand why UNIX apps take so much longer to install than mac apps. Even a full system update for OSX doesn't take anywhere near as long as updating GNOME ...
RE: Long Install
Fink packages only take long to install if you compile them from source (ie: 'fink install packagename'). If you did that for Mac apps like Photoshop, that would take several days too--but you can't anyhow, since Photoshop and the rest aren't open source. |
