The simplest thing to do is to simply add this as an alternative method. But we were just discussing on #fink a more drastic change: we could scrap anonymous cvs access altogether, and offer only two access methods, rsync or ext cvs (the latter for fink developers only).
Any opinions about this? Rob's patch will allow users to configure their rsync server, so several servers could be set up eventually.
Hi,
I'd suggest that for the first (couple?) of releases of fink with Rob's patch, the selfupdate-cvs command continue to work as is, but with a "this command has been deprecated, use selfupdate-rsync" warning.
Now, to throw in another suggestion, I think that the selfupdate-cvs command could be removed altogether. Developers are mode than capable of pulling the tree using cvs, adding packages to it, and testing them in their fink environment before committing. It would be less convenient, but it would ensure that we are using the same tools as users, and we would likely react more quickly to problems if they affect us too :-p
