Hello Fink Users!

I have a question about a fink mirror, on my local xserve.
I would like to compiling all the sources of the fink programms to binary on my xserve,
so that i can get the binary packages from my xserve in my local area network ..... you know what i mean
Yes, I am doing this here at work and even in my small home network. I think I explained this once or twice on the list.

like a apt-get mirror

All packages compiling on the xserve ... and on the clients in my lan they install
example :

fink install nmap
No, not "fink install". The clients would say "sudo apt-get install nmap" or use dselect or FinkCommander with the binary install option.

than fink will get the binary from the xserve ......
Is this possible ?
Yes, very easy:

1. You start a web server on the xserve. I don't know how the xserve is configured, on my G4 here under MacOSX 10.2.2 (client) I switch on "Personal web sharing" in the system preferences.

2. You make your fink tree visible to the web server. Here I put a symlink
fink -> /sw/fink into the directory /Library/WebServer/Documents/

3. You make your new fink server known to your clients:
On every client, put lines like the following into /sw/etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://xserve/fink stable main crypto
deb http://xserve/fink unstable main crypto

where xserve is a valid address for your server.

This is all. You just have to remember to run "fink scanpackages" (*)
on the server and "sudo apt-get update" on the clients after every compilation and before every installation on the clients.

(*) fink scanpackages is a PITA. It takes forever, but there is probably nothing one can do about it.
