Just install he cvs package from Fink (e.g. "fink install cvs"): fink list cvs Information about 2983 packages read in 3 seconds.
i cvs 1.11.5-1 Version control system This gets installed in /sw/bin and thus is ahead of Apple's cvs in your PATH, and so it bypasses the system version. -- Alexander K.

Hansen Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Fink-users] fink updating failed (diff error) Thanks for the reply, I feel a little slow asking this, but what exactly do you mean "installing the fink cvs package". I thought that running the fink selfupdate -cvs updated from the cvs? Do I need to change my configuration of the fink installation I have or wipe it and install it another way? Or do I need to bypass the inherrent cvs pkg that apple installs (or broke with 10.2.8)? Upon rereading your messge a couple of times, that's what I'm leaning toward. So, how does one do that exactly? :) Thanks, Brandon Potter On Sunday, October 12, 2003, at 08:59 AM, Alexander K.
