I was wondering what is the correct procedure for me to follow, when, after trying to install software with "fink install packagename", the install fails for what are to me at least obvious reaons.
Having given up on the hard stuff I decided to become a total goof-off (just play chess and go) with the aid of Fink. I tried to download cgoban which even though I did update everything over the weekend is version 1.9.11 in fink but 1.9.12 on the web site. Should I notify the package maintainer? Are there alternative download locations that can be added? Can I locally tell fink to update the version. In a similar vane, I was flat out denied access to the crafty ftp site. Either it has changed or limits hours of accessibility. This isn't a problem with fink per se, though embedding multiple mirrors and autmomatically keep everything in sync would be nice. I just want to know what are my obligations as a fink user, when I confront something like this. After all I have seen a lot of traffic generated by people who have similar problems, though don't really bother to try to download manually to see what is wrong. -- Josh Kuperman [EMAIL PROTECTED] cgoban not found on the server curl -f -L -O http://www.igoweb.org/~wms/comp/cgoban/cgoban-1.9.11.tar.gz curl: (22) The requested file was not found ### curl failed, exit code 22 Downloading the file "cgoban-1.9.11.tar.gz" failed. because it should be 1.9.12.tar.gz I downloaded 1.9.12 to /sw/src but it is still looking for 11.
