Hi,
I'm in the process of creating my first Fink package, but I seem to running into a minor problem with the CustomMirror field. I need to use a custom mirror because the package is unavailable at any of the standard Fink mirrors. So, I've specified the following in my .info file:
CustomMirror: << nam-US: http://download.eclipse.org/technology/ajdt/ << Source: mirror:custom:%n-%v.jar
When Fink tries to install this package, it's supposed to download the file at http://download.eclipse.org/technology/ajdt/aspectj-1.2.jar. At least, that's what I think it should do, based on the fields above. Instead, Fink for some reason tries to download the file at http://distfiles.master.finkmirrors.net/aspectj-1.2.jar, which of course is unavailable. This causes curl to return a failure, and I get this prompt:
(1) Give up (2) Retry the same mirror (3) Retry another mirror from your country (4) Retry another mirror (5) Retry using next mirror set "Custom Mirror"
Now, my question is, why doesn't Fink go to the custom mirror I specified in the first place? Or at least, why doesn't Fink check the other mirrors automatically, instead of prompting me? I mean, if I were a user trying to install this package, and I saw the above prompt, I would think something has gone seriously wrong. Thanks for any advice,
Trevor
