Since the stop of CVS service is gettting longer and longer, I tried to switch to rsync on one of my Macs, getting the following result.
What does it mean?

How do you want to proceed? [3]
/usr/bin/rsync -az -q rsync://dub.ie.eu.finkmirrors.net/finkinfo//TIMESTAMP /sw/fink/TIMESTAMP.tmp
The timestamp of the server is older than what you already have.

I think this server may need to be removed from the active list.

Is there any way out? Thanks in advance. Yours,

Your initial error means pretty much what it says: /sw/fink/10.7/unstable/main and /sw/fink/10.7/unstable/crypto probably are owned by root whereas fink is running rsync as your user, and so it can’t remove those directories. They’re not necessary, since we haven’t used an unstable tree since 10.7 came out, so just remove them manually.
