Here's how to proceed: 1) If it doesn't exist make the directory /sw/fink/10.4/local/main/finkinfo, e.g.: mkdir -p /sw/fink/10.4/local/main/finkinfo (and if the system won't let you do that, use sudo mkdir -p /sw/fink/10.4/local/main/finkinfo ) 2) Check /sw/etc/fink.conf to make sure that local/main is in the Trees: line. If not, add it--you'll need to edit this file as the superuser, e.g. sudo nano -w /sw/etc/fink.conf 3) Now go to the CVS repository viewer page for 10.4 rdiff-backup: http://fink.cvs.sourceforge.net/fink/dists/10.4/unstable/main/finkinfo/utils/rdiff-backup.info?view=log 4) Download rdiff-backup.info by clicking the "download" link for the 1.3 CVS revision of the document (that's the file you want), and then saving the file from your web browser. 5) Copy the saved file to /sw/fink/10.4/local/main/finkinfo (you may need to rename it--I generally find that the browser sticks a .txt extension on my file), cp <downloaded filename> /sw/fink/10.4/local/main/finkinfo/rdiff-backup.info (and add a "sudo" to the front if the system won't let you copy the file) 6) Make sure that this version shows up in fink dumpinfo -fallversions rdiff-backup 7) If so, you should be able to run fink install rdiff-backup 1.1.5-1002 and hopefully there won't be any problems. If you do happen to have any post back--doing it on the list is great, because that way we've got something like a tutorial to use as a reference. :-) > Alexander Hansen wrote: > > On 6/16/07, Noah <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Alexander, > >> > >> is there a way to look up the revision number?
