I've been using rsync for the last few days and it has been working very nicely. Now I only use the self-update without the cvs and it downloads the info from the rsync server. Very nice, no problems and no cvs hang...

I do have a question (or observation).

I have been using X-Darwin instead of Apple's X11 with Gnome 2, it is a great environment but the windows redraw really slowly (when dragged around). Is this the norm ?

Also, when I am in the terminal (gnome), it will not let me use an asterix * which is a show stopper for database and python work. Any work around ?

All in all, Gnome has made huge improvements and with the multiple desktops, it is a pleasure. I just wish the redraw problems were history and I would not mind a newer version of Mozilla : )

Thank again Fink Crew,

Brian

It appears (at least it did for me) that you can freely switch back and
forth, with the caveat that if you try reverting to CVS, you may wind up not
being able to update because of server problems (same old, same old).

Subject: [Fink-users] cvs vs. rsync

I've seen the talk of the (experimental?) feature for updating using
rsync....

Is this a feature that can be freely switched back and forth, using selfupdate-cvs and selfupdate-rsync, or are there more settings that would need to be changed to do so? Would there be risk of screwing up fink by switching (and potentially switching back again)?

This is the third day where all I've gotten are connection errors when I try

updating via cvs...but the list overall seems quiet about it, so I don't
know if it's me or just a small number of us or if the list members just aren't talking about it...maybe fink is getting too popular :-)
