[gravenstein:~] lichtner% fink selfupdate-cvs sudo /sw/bin/fink selfupdate-cvs
The selfupdate function can track point releases or it can set up your Fink
installation to update package descriptions from CVS. Updating from CVS has
the advantage that it is more up to date than the last point release. On the
other hand, the point release may be more mature or have less bugs.
Nevertheless, CVS is recommended. Do you want to set up direct CVS updating?
[Y/n]
Fink has the capability to run the CVS commands as a normal user. That has
some advantages - it uses that user's CVS settings files and allows the
package descriptions to be edited and updated without becoming root. Please
specify the user login name that should be used: [lichtner]
For Fink developers only: Enter your SourceForge login name to set up full
CVS access. Other users, just press return to set up anonymous read-only
access. [anonymous]
rm -rf /sw/fink.tmp
mkdir -p /sw/fink.tmp

Checking to see if we can use hard links to merge the existing tree. Please
ignore errors on the next few lines.
