Instructions how to switch to the now preferred method of using rsync to update your package description files can be found here:
I was rsyncing manually from opendarwin before 'selfupdate-rsync', but I only touched the stable and unstable directories. So when I tried the released 'fink selfupdate-rsync', I was a little surprised when fink updated stable/* and unstable/*, but then proceeded to clean out all of the CVS control directories in local/ as well (which pointed to my local CVS repository, oddly enough). Mea culpa-- I probably should have looked at the source code before trying selfupdate-rsync :-/
I understand the rationale for removing the CVS directories, as updating the CVS sandbox with rsync would confuse CVS.
It might be helpful, though, to point out in the upgrade instructions that _all_ CVS directories under /sw/fink will be removed as part of the upgrade.
