Hi, I tried to selfupdate (using CVS) and failed to connect. Assuming this was due to the server being overwhelmed (per the docs), I tried selfupdate-rsync. Repetitively, the mirrors fail and I'll select another in the country. Sometimes it will work, and I get the following output:
rsync -az -q rsync://msn.wi.us.finkmirrors.net/finkinfo//TIMESTAMP /sw/fink/TIMESTAMP.tmp I will now run the rsync command to retrieve the latest package descriptions. rsync -rtz --delete-after --delete -q --include='10.4/' --include='10.4/stable/' --include='10.4/stable/main/' --include='10.4/stable/main/finkinfo/' --include='10.4/stable/main/finkinfo/*/' --include='10.4/stable/main/finkinfo/*' --include='10.4/stable/main/finkinfo/**/*' --include='10.4/' --include='10.4/stable/' --include='10.4/stable/crypto/' --include='10.4/stable/crypto/finkinfo/' --include='10.4/stable/crypto/finkinfo/*/' --include='10.4/stable/crypto/finkinfo/*' --include='10.4/stable/crypto/finkinfo/**/*' --include='VERSION' --include='DISTRIBUTION' --include='README' --exclude='**' 'rsync://msn.wi.us.finkmirrors.net/finkinfo' '/sw/fink/' WARNING: Not saving timestamp of selfupdate because could not write /sw/fink/10.4-transitional/VERSION.selfupdate.tmp: No such file or directory Information about 2617 packages read in 1 seconds.
