On my test 10.9 system this morning I installed cvs (under fink of course) which went well then I tried to selfupdate using cvs:
`--> fink selfupdate-cvs Please note: the simple command 'fink selfupdate' should be used for routine updating; you only need to use a command like 'fink selfupdate-cvs' or 'fink selfupdate --method=rsync' if you are changing your update method. The current selfupdate method is rsync. Do you wish to change this default method to cvs? [Y/n] fink is setting your default update method to cvs Fink has the capability to run the cvs commands as a normal user. That has some advantages - it uses that user's CVS settings files and allows the package descriptions to be edited and updated without becoming root. Please specify the user login name that should be used: [dad] For Fink developers only: Enter your SourceForge login name to set up full CVS access. Other users, just press return to set up anonymous read-only access. [anonymous] Checking to see if we can use hard links to merge the existing tree. Please ignore errors on the next few lines. Now logging into the CVS server. When CVS asks you for a password, just press return (i.e. the password is empty). /usr/bin/su dad -c 'cvs -d":pserver:anonym...@fink.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/fink" login' Logging in to :pserver:anonym...@fink.cvs.sourceforge.net:2401/cvsroot/fink CVS password: cvs login: warning: failed to open /Users/dad/.cvspass for reading: No such file or directory Setting up base Fink directory... /usr/bin/su dad -c 'cvs -q -z3 -d":pserver:anonym...@fink.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/fink" checkout -l -d fink dists' U fink/.cvsignore U fink/README U fink/VERSION --> Here there is a very long pause, I thought it was hung. <-- cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any) ### execution of /usr/bin/su failed, exit code 1 Failed: Downloading package descriptions from CVS failed. ------ This is, you may recall, a bootstrap from Futureproof2 so I may be attempting something illegal or illogical. It's been known to happen! When I reattempted the selfupdate I got the same result (minus the warning about the .cvspass file which now exists) ... selfupdate-rsync worked OK but it didn't pull the -2 version of vim-nox TIA Bill W ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
