Welcome to Darwin! [theomobil:~] kuddel% fink selfupdate-cvs sudo /sw/bin/fink selfupdate-cvs The selfupdate function can track point releases or it can set up your Fink installation to update package descriptions from CVS. Updating from CVS has the advantage that it is more up to date than the last point release. On the other hand, the point release may be more mature or have less bugs. Nevertheless, CVS is recommended. Do you want to set up direct CVS updating? [Y/n] y Fink has the capability to run the CVS commands as a normal user. That has some advantages - it uses that user's CVS settings files and allows the package descriptions to be edited and updated without becoming root. Please specify the user login name that should be used: [kuddel] For Fink developers only: Enter your SourceForge login name to set up full CVS access. Other users, just press return to set up anonymous read-only access. [anonymous] mkdir -p /sw/fink.tmp chown kuddel /sw/fink.tmp Checking to see if we can use hard links to merge the existing tree. Please ignore errors on the next few lines. ln /sw/fink/README /sw/fink.tmp/README Now logging into the CVS server. When CVS asks you for a password, just press return (i.e. the password is empty). su kuddel -c 'cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/fink login' (Logging in to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) CVS password: ???? _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
