[Fink-devel] Updating fink via CVS

[John Davidorff Pell]

For the life of me I cannot figure out why fink won't update from CVS, unless its a problem at sourceforge. It prints the following when I run fink selfupdate-cvs (after the questions about 1st time config):
cvs [login aborted]: connect to cvs.sourceforge.net:2401 failed: Operation timed out
### execution of cvs failed, exit code 1
Failed: Logging into the CVS server for anonymous read-only access failed.

I upgraded to Jag last night and I wiped my system beforehand. I installed 5.0a from binary late last night (or this morning?) I've added the unstable/main and unstable/crypto trees to the fink.conf file. I also installed apple's X11 (but this couldn't break CVS, right?) I have not installed system-xfree86-4.2.0-3 yet, but I also haven't tryed to install anything.

I looked on the CVS setup page on the fink site and it says that I can't do CVS from behind a firewall. I had Apple's pseudo-firewall (built into OSX) enabled, but disabled it as soon as I read that. I have also messed w/ my router's settings and have set my machine as in the "DMZ Zone". On fink's CVS webpage there's link to view CVS and that one also times out. I'm guessing its something to do w/ either the server or my supposed to be off firewall.

In the past I've had apple's firewall on and used cvs with no problems.

Thanx in advance,

JP
