(If Fink is properly set up, you shouldn't need to use the full path to it) (--no-use-binary-dist isn't needed because there is no binary distribution on 10.6) cvs-proxy is based on an ancient version of cvs, and isn't available on 10.5 and later. > Password: > Information about 312 packages read in 0 seconds. > WARNING: unable to determine last selfupdate time.
