hi, cvs use other ports, not the proxys and is mostly blocked by the firewall. martin costable wrote a solution, that works for me fine (thanx to him) :
The following works: 1. Download the fink-cvsroot.tar.gz and untar it somewhere, let's say in /fink-c vsroot. 2. You get a directory /fink-cvsroot/fink with subdirectories CVSROOT, base-files, fink, packages, web and so on. You can then use /fink-cvsroot/fink/ like the cvs repository at sourceforge to check out modules base-files, fink, and packages: In some new directory, let's say /sw/fink-cvs, you say cvs -d /fink-cvsroot/fink co base-files fink packages 3. Then (inside /sw/fink-cvs/), you go into each of the 3 directories base-files, fink, and packages and say sudo ./inject.pl This will update your fink distribution in /sw/fink. 4. If you do this the next time, instead of 2. it suffices to go into each of the 3 directories mentioned and say "cvs update". It may even be possible to educate 'fink selfupdate' to use /fink-cvsroot/fink/ instead of the sourceforge repository, but I am not sure if this is easy. Am Dienstag den, 12.
