I tried to dowload from browser the wget package but I didn't find all package dependencies. However copyng the curl line "curl --connect-timeout 30 -f -L -A 'fink/0.27.8' -O http://distfiles.master.finkmirrors.net/wget-1.10.2.tar.gz"; and modifying the timeot at 90 I was able to download the package, but now the problem: I launch fink install wget (how can I compile else?) but the script still looks for package on internet and stops the complete procedure when curl is timed out after 30 (default value) seconds. How can I set the timing out curl option to be 90 seconds? Or how can I compile skipping automatic-dowload phase? But I thik this way I should dowload all dependencies on hand :( Thanks, Alex Gabriele
PS: here a sample of timing out ilprof:~ alex$ fink install wget Information about 6303 packages read in 1 seconds. The following package will be installed or updated: wget The following 5 additional packages will be installed: expat expat-shlibs gettext-tools libgettextpo2-shlibs system-openssl-dev Do you want to continue? [Y/n] curl --connect-timeout 30 -f -L -A 'fink/0.27.8' -O http://distfiles.master.finkmirrors.net/wget-1.10.2.tar.gz curl: (6) name lookup timed out ### execution of curl failed, exit code 6 Downloading the file "wget-1.10.2.tar.gz" failed. (1) Give up (2) Retry the same mirror (3) Retry another mirror from your continent (4) Retry another mirror (5) Retry using next mirror set "gnu" How do you want to proceed?
