Re: [fink-core] rsync mirrors rotting

[David R. M. <dr...@fi...>]

There are two problems here.

First, apparently the master fink mirror is having a problem with  
rsync.  Can somebody who understands the finch setup please look at  
this?

Second, it looks like most of the other mirrors are completely dead.   
Since nobody is volunteering to investigate/repair this problem,  
which should probably release a new version of the fink-mirrors  
package which OMITS these bad mirrors.
