I'm cc'ing the fink-users mailing list so that others can provide input or
benefit from the discussion.
I don't recall that we ever came to a resolution on this.
Did you set proxies via "fink configure" ?
According to the Environment Variables section of "info cvs" for the version
which comes with Leopard (assuming that's what you're on, too), you might
want to set CVS_PROXY_PORT to match your http proxy:
`$CVS_PROXY_PORT'
Used in client-server mode to set the port to use when accessing a
server via a web proxy, if the port is not specified in the
CVSROOT. Works with GSSAPI, and the password authentication
protocol. *note Remote repositories::
(replacing the proxy stuff by those that are applicable to your network)
