It doesn't stop people from sending whole digests, though. ;-) rsync does indeed seem to get blocked more frequently than does cvs. At this point I'm not sure which is more reliable: we set up rsync service because the sourceforge cvs server kept getting clogged for people, but perhaps that's no longer the case. If people are having good results with cvs, maybe that's what we should advocate, especially since it seems like we've been getting a fair number of instances where the rsync mirrors don't update. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list Fink-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
