I've enjoyed using fink for some time and I have become a bit of a fink evangelist here at Adobe. I am trying to come up with a smooth workflow for people who need to install fink under Jaguar now. Following the bootsrap instructions works up to the step where selfupdate-cvs is required. The problem is that we can't CVS through the firewall -- we need to use the proxy form of CVS. Unfortunately, the appropriate version of CVS is not part of the base distribution. Should we somehow build a working proxy-capable CVS? Would selfupdate-cvs work then? It might be easier to use the so called "packages-0.11.0.tar.gz" alternative, but where can I get this? Or should I take another approach entirely? Will waiting for the release help? Remember, the idea is to make it seem easy to install so that fink use can spread around here. Advice?try going to http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/fink/dists/10.2/ unstable/main/finkinfo/devel/ and grabbing the cvs-proxy files, and put them in /sw/fink/dists/10.2/unstable/main/finkinfo/devel/
then build cvs-proxy. that should allow you to do selfupdate-cvs from then on, and you might want to even have one machine as a main build machine and make a mini distro of common packages, so in-house people can just apt-get them. there was just a message on fink-users on how to do this :-)
