There is a web interface for browsing the CVS archive, so you could
figure out the URLs there. Or I think you can download (via an http://
URL) a single tarball that contains the whole CVS archive if you
really want it.
What's the real goal here?
Michele had a few packages in his experimental tree that he needed to
test on a dual G5. I have one at work and wanted to test the packages
without travelling to the office.
I think there's a way to proxy cvs via http
if there is a firewall issue. Or you could use CVS on one machine to
access the exp/ and then ftp or scp it to your fink machine. Or is the
issue just "how do I map my local/main to exp/?"?

Over an ssh connection, I was able cd to my local/main/finkinfo
directory and use wget in this format:
sudo wget
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/fink/experimental/michga/mozilla.info
I didn't browse far enough in the wget docs, but I intend to go back and
see if there's an option to specify the destination directory so I can
do it without changing directories (I'll bet there is).
If there's a way to "activate the experimental tree" using fink.conf
(possibly what you meant by mapping local/main to exp/ --?) or some
such, that might be neat.
Thanks,
Robert
