The internals of 'fink selfupdate' and related selfupdate actions have been redone in fink CVS HEAD to allow pluggable support for new selfupdate methods and because nobody seemed to really understood the old code. I think at this time all old functionality works as before, and there are new hooks to allow for future growth--please test the heck out of selfupdating, especially the rsync method and switching between various methods, to make sure we're no worse than before.
Also I'd love to hear feedback about two main new features that we now have: selfupdate datestamps should be working, for warnings if selfupdate hasn't been done in "a long time" and to give more information than just the method used in the 'fink -V' output. 'fink selfupdate' now can handle all selfupdate tasks via command-line flags, including taking a --mode parameter to act like the traditional 'fink selfupdate-*' commands. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
