Hi, thanks for the response,
I talked to my system administrator this morning, and he said that
rsync is not authorised from
this lab, but that he doesn't see any reason why CVS should not work.
But he is not an expert either on mac or on fink, so I'm coming back
to the list
for help (if it was a laptop I'd try doing it from home but its a big
heavy mac pro).
below is precisely what happens when I try the selpupdate command,
(I just hit the default for every answer and hit return when it asks
for a password.)
Any advice on getting CVS to work on Leaopard is welcome !
thanks
Nick
mac-hall:~ hall$ fink selfupdate-cvs
Password:
Please note: the simple command 'fink selfupdate' should be used for
routine updating; you only need to use a command like 'fink selfupdate-
cvs' or 'fink selfupdate --method=rsync' if you are changing your
update method.
The current selfupdate method is rsync. Do you wish to change this
default method to cvs? [Y/n]
fink is setting your default update method to cvs
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: [hall]
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]
Checking to see if we can use hard links to merge the existing tree.
Please ignore errors on the next few lines.
Now logging into the CVS server. When CVS asks you for a password,
just press return (i.e. the password is empty).

I've downloaded and installed fink-0.28.0 on OS 10.5.2
My fist time with fink
after setting up my proxies to what my system administrator
advised, this worked.
and the bootstrap command worked.
But
fink selfupdate-rsync doesn't work - it suggests mirror sites and
none of them
work - I don't believe they are all inaccessible.
and
fink selfupdate-cvs asks me for a CVS password - I don't know what
to put,
my user password doesn't work, I just get
Failed: Logging into the CVS server for anonymous read-only access
failed.
so I have a very limited list of packages
fink list returns just 269 packages
and I can't install anything.
do I have a proxy problem ?
If so why did the original fink download work ?
If not - how do I get round this and access all the fink packages
I want to install ?
thanks
Nick
Your original download was via HTTP, not rsync or cvs, so you're
using a different port.
For selfupdate-cvs, make sure to give it _no_ password for anonymous
access, as you don't have an account on our server--though that
looks like what you've done.
Talk to your system administrator some more about this. Also, my
understanding is that Leopard's cvs does proxy handling as part of
CVSROOT, and I'm not sure if fink handles that.
