Fresh fink installation on a fresh 10.4 installation. I'm tracking
stable, but I need to install msmtp and a couple of other packages that
are only available in unstable. Unfortunately, selfupdate-cvs isn't
working right now:
======================================================================
[Ridcully:~]$ fink selfupdate-cvs
Password:
Please note: the command 'fink selfupdate' should be used for routine
updating; you only need to use 'fink selfupdate-cvs' or 'fink selfupdate-rsync'
if you are changing your update method.
Fink has the capability to run the CVS commands as a normal user. That has some
advantages - it uses that user's CVS settings files and allows the package
descriptions to be edited and updated without becoming root. Please specify the
user login name that should be used: [cobbe]
For Fink developers only: Enter your SourceForge login name to set up full CVS
access. Other users, just press return to set up anonymous read-only access.
[anonymous]
Checking to see if we can use hard links to merge the existing tree. Please
ignore errors on the next few lines.
Now logging into the CVS server. When CVS asks you for a password, just press
return (i.e. the password is empty).
/usr/bin/su cobbe -c 'cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/fink login'
Logging in to :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2401/cvsroot/fink
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from cvs.sourceforge.net: M PserverBackend::PserverBackend() Connect (Connection refused)
### execution of /usr/bin/su failed, exit code 1
Failed: Logging into the CVS server for anonymous read-only access failed.
======================================================================
The FAQ doesn't mention this at all. I searched this list's archives,
but the only responses that I saw to this problem involve making sure
that CVS_RSH is set to fink's ssh. The following command gives the same
results, however:
CVS_RSH=/sw/bin/ssh fink selfupdate-cvs
(And in any case, I'm not sure why $CVS_RSH is relevant here; the error
messages indicate that CVS is trying to establish a :pserver:
connection, not an :ext: connection.)
Where's the problem? Is it on my end, or is one of the mirrors just
hosed?
Thanks,
Richard
Looks new to me too--which should explain why it's not in the FAQ or the
archives.
It may well be a server issue (there aren't multiple mirrors for CVS)
which is why we generally recommend using rsync selfupdates--they're of
course not infallible themselves.
Also, as a data point, could you please post the results of running
which cvs
and the version information from
cvs --version
? It may even be something to do with the version of the cvs program.
