[Fink-devel] remote download from experimental tree
Is it possible to download info files with wget or something into a remote machine's /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo directory? Would my sourceforge direct download access make any difference?

Would my sourceforge direct download access make any difference? Thanks, Robert Sure. You can get the download URLs via the ViewCVS interface and your normal browser: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/fink/experimental/ then feed those into wget. You can also play games with the cvs command to have it check out where you want. -- Alexander K.

Would my sourceforge direct download access make any difference? The various SourceForge's download mechanisms are only for accessing things published with the File Release System, not for CVS stuff. 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? 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/?? dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Yeah, this worked easily: sudo wget --progress=bar http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/fink/experimental/michga/mozilla.info You can also play games with the cvs command to have it check out where you want. ? --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

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.

Or is the issue just how do I map my local/main to exp/?? dan 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.
