Most packages are downloaded from their original sources via HTTP (port 80) or FTP (port 21). A few use HTTPS (port 81). The project has Master mirrors which make copies of most of the available sources (unless they can't be copied due to licensing issues), which are downloaded via HTTP. Your current Master mirror is visible e.g. via grep Mirror-master /sw/etc/fink.conf and you can use tools like dig or nslookup to resolve the IP address: $ grep Mirror-master /sw/etc/fink.conf Mirror-master: http://distfiles.master.finkmirrors.net/ $ nslookup distfiles.master.finkmirrors.net Server: 192.168.1.1 Address: 192.168.1.1#53 Non-authoritative answer: distfiles.master.finkmirrors.net canonical name = rsync.macosforge.org. Name: rsync.macosforge.org Address: 17.254.20.156 For problems with selfupdating, there are a couple of things you'll need to do. 1) Rsync uses port 873. If the adminstrator of your firewall is willing to open that, you can use rsync selfupdates. 2) Since most administrators are _not_ willing to open 873, then see if you can get port 2401 opened for cvs selfupdates. 3) There is code in current fink versions that allows cvs to tunnel through HTTP proxies if those are present. You'll have to know your proxy server and port, and use "fink configure" to set that up. - -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk6MkU8ACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ9X+QCcCDQ+eDzkDeNs0g0D7uRUhC2V 7N8AnAvIAAJv1bNiLFwIEak72MzP7PBI =WDcV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
