Try grabbing the 10.4 cvs-proxy binary via a browser.

and then install it manually via e.g.

sudo dpkg -i cvs-proxy_1.11.5-1_darwin-i386.deb

I don't know if the people who can do the binary releases will do just one package.


However, I was planning to _remove_ Fink's cvs from 10.5 . Our cvs- proxy package is well behind the curve, Apple's now is the same version as ours, and it works better; Fink's cvs-1.12.13 had issues, at least on Panther and Tiger, bogging down on compressed transfers.


As for documenting it: I'll need help from someone who actually uses cvs via proxy with the built-in cvs from 10.5 . I don't use it, and the onboard documentation is admittedly not the most transparent.

Many thanks for the suggestion, which I'm sorry to report isn't panning out as I'd hoped. I've since been able to get a complete set of updated .info and .patch files from another machine outside the firewall, so I've been able to get a working fink distribution (including a download and local build of cvs-proxy).

This is an obviously kludgy workaround, so please count me as a glad volunteer to work with anyone who has interest & experience in getting Leopard's built-in cvs (or rsync) to work via proxy –

Sincerely,
Kevin
