Here's an alternate route to "fink selfupdate-rsync" for those of us who have been unable to use fink's sourceforge cvs repository (it seems to be broken).
If you haven't already, obtain gcc 3.3 (the August 2003 gcc Updater) from Apple, and install it. Then download fink-0.14.0 (http://fink.opendarwin.org/fink/fink-0.14.0.tar.gz) from fink.opendarwin.org, unpack it, and cd into it. Example: $ wget http://fink.opendarwin.org/fink/fink-0.14.0.tar.gz $ tar xvfz fink-0.14.0.tar.gz $ cd fink-0.14.0 As root, run inject.pl, passing the location of your fink installation as a parameter. Example: $ sudo ./inject.pl /sw This updates your Fink installation to fink-0.14.0, and should make fink understand "fink selfupdate-rsync". -- K On Tue, 7 Oct 2003, David R.
