This explains everything. If you don't have a dists/CVS/Entries file, you get the error messages you are seeing. You need a CVS directory with the 3 files Entry, Repository, and Root. These are small files and you can make them by hand so that they contain the following costabel% cat CVS/Entries /.cvsignore/1.1.1.1/Mon Apr 9 15:28:16 2001// D/stable//// D/unstable//// costabel% cat CVS/Repository /cvsroot/fink/packages/dists costabel% cat CVS/Root :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/fink This should get you back into business. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: ThinkGeek at http://www.ThinkGeek.com/ _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
