I ran a "normal" fink selfupdate tonight and got a very large list of updates to be done. I declined the update so I could run selfupdate with logging turned on. Apparently selfupdate doesn't log ... details to follow.
Here is the selfupdate with logging requested: % fink --log-output selfupdate I will now run the cvs command to retrieve the latest package descriptions. The 'su' command will be used to run the cvs command as the user 'dad'. After that, the core packages will be updated right away; you should then update the other packages using commands like 'fink update-all'. /usr/bin/su dad -c 'cvs -q -z3 update -d -P -l' /usr/bin/su dad -c 'cvs -q -z3 update -d -P 10.7' Scanning package description files..........
