[Fink-users] Jaguar Fink bootsrap through CVS proxy

[Mat M. <mm...@ad...>]

I've enjoyed using fink for some time and I have become a bit 
of a fink evangelist here at Adobe. I am trying to come up with 
a smooth workflow for people who need to install fink under 
Jaguar now. Following the bootsrap instructions works up to the 
step where selfupdate-cvs is required. The problem is that we 
can't CVS through the firewall -- we need to use the proxy form 
of CVS. Unfortunately, the appropriate version of CVS is not 
part of the base distribution. Should we somehow build a 
working proxy-capable CVS? Would selfupdate-cvs work then? It 
might be easier to use the so called "packages-0.11.0.tar.gz" 
alternative, but where can I get this? Or should I take another 
approach entirely? Will waiting for the release help? Remember, 
the idea is to make it seem easy to install so that fink use 
can spread around here. Advice?

Thanks,
Mat
