[Fink-devel] improvement suggestion

[Pejvan BEIGUI]

Hi all,

I've got a simple request regarding the way fink handles unsuccessful
downloads. I like to launch the "$fink update-all" before going to sleep
or going out so that everything's done when I'm not actually using the
computer. But what often happens is that some mirrors are not up to date
and I get the following error :
> wget --verbose --passive-ftp 
> http://distfiles.arn.se.eu.finkmirrors.net/ethereal-0.10.7.tar.bz2
> --20:42:53--  http://distfiles.arn.se.eu.finkmirrors.net/ethereal-0.10.7.tar.bz2

And the update-all process is suck until the day after when I come back
to my desk.

So, is there already a workaround around this?
If not, is there a way to improve fink by asking him to select a default
action (like 'give up' or 'retry another mirror')?

Thanks,

Pejvan
