If you have the *.debs and you don't want to recompile, you don't need to copy the source tarballs. You'll need the files in finkinfo too, of course. > The Cubes > are both on the net so I can get at one from the other. Is there an > obvious way to do that? I'd do something like rsync -e ssh -auzv loginname@cube2:/sw/fink/dists /sw/fink/ If you've set up your ssh keys correctly, you don't even need a password. Or you can mount your partition from cube2 via Appleshare and then do the rsync "locally", i.e. from the mounted partition, like rsync -auv /Volumes/Cube2Software/sw/fink/dists /sw/fink/ In this way, you get an exact copy of the dists tree. And with rsync you don't have the little traps you can fall in with ftp like transferring binary files as text files (this would kill the *.debs, probably, and produce something like you are seeing). -- Martin _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
