The CVS servers are hosted and managed by SourceForge.net, not Fink. In theory, cvs shouldn’t have different behaviours depending on which platform it’s being run. > apollo18:~ rblack$ fink selfupdate > > Fink has the capability to run the CVS commands as a normal user.

There is a FAQ entry in Fink’s documentation stating that this error is likely caused by the CVS servers being overloaded: http://www.finkproject.org/faq/usage-fink.php?phpLang=en#cvs-busy Do you _always_ get this message when self-updating via CVS? Are you able to self-update via rsync? -- monipol ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
