[Fink-users] CVS busy suggestion

[Hanspeter N. <nieder@OCF.Berkeley.EDU>]

The question regarding the CVS servers being busy comes up repeatedly.  I
just noticed that the failed CVS command returns an error code when it
fails.  Can the fink scripts that are run by "fink selfupdate-cvs" be
modified such that if the error code cvs returns is not 0, something along
the lines of "The fink CVS update failed.  This is probably due to a busy
CVS server.  Please try again later." is printed to screen?  I believe
this would be help people understand what happened much better than
"Connection reset by peer."
