cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/Volumes/src/cvs/od login but I get asked for a password. There's no mention of this, and no password I Thanks to everyone who pointed out that I could just hit return instead of entering a password for the darwinports CVS command. I'm rather red-faced over it -- I did do that, and there was no output, and I returned to the command-line, so I thought that meant the login had failed! I'm really not thinking UNIX, am I?

Every time I've checked out something via Anonymous CVS, a blank password - i.e. simply hitting 'return' without entering a password - did the trick. sherm--
DarwinPorts (not strictly Perl)
Can anyone help me with DarwinPorts? I found their website while looking for an OSX-compiled pdftohtml, and followed the help and instructions up to this point: http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/docs/ch01s03.html#getting_dports where it tells me to simple do this in the Terminal: cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/Volumes/src/cvs/od login but I get asked for a password. There's no mention of this, and no password I can think of, like "anonymous", or a valid email address, works. It just returns cvs [login aborted]: connect to anoncvs.opendarwin.org:2401 failed: Connection refused so I'm pretty much stuck on Page One. Any help gratefully received.

Jordan once wrote a rather persuasive email why FreeBSD ports needed redoing, make macros not being the most user-friendly/extensible/maintainable of systems. As to why not fink, I'm not sure. Purely for me, I found fink tied me to tightly to what other people wanted (in terms of configuration etc), as do pretty much every other porting system (with the possible exception of Portage, which I haven't used yet). This is not to say I found fink bad, just I haven't found my "prefect" ports engine yet. Maybe this will be it, maybe not.

Hmm - this does burst my happiness bubble quite badly to know that there are parallel projects and that they're not able to directly leverage each other's work. IMO "because it'll be better" is never a good enough reason to re-invent the wheel unless someone can also explain why the previous work isn't fixable. -Ken

I think it hopes to be more extensible than fink, in terms of embedding in other applications (though I know this has been done with fink, c.f. fink commander) and in terms of port variants. Also I think the dependancy tracking will ultimately be more flexible than that of fink. Fink is cool, but I think Jordan is one of the few people with the experience (FreeBSD ports), and the skill (along with Landon and Kevin) to bring something even better to the table. We'll see.
