Since the commits mail fails, but not the commit itself, here are the changes (second and last chunk), sorry for the trouble: [QUOTE] Index: uguide.en.xml =================================================================== RCS file: /cvsroot/fink/web/xml/users-guide/uguide.en.xml,v retrieving revision 1.17 retrieving revision 1.18 diff -r1.17 -r1.18 6c6 < <cvsid>$Id: uguide.en.xml,v 1.17 2004/10/21 08:48:47 michga Exp $</cvsid> --- > <cvsid>$Id: uguide.en.xml,v 1.18 2004/10/21 10:20:09 michga Exp $</cvsid> 560c560,580 < </p> --- > </p> > <p> > For <code>fink</code> versions since 0.23.0 you can tell it to try to download > pre-compiled binary packages, if available, instead of building them. Just pass > the <xref chapter="usage" section="options">--use-binary-dist (or -b) > option</xref> to <code>fink</code>. This can save you a lot of time. E.g. > calling > </p> > <codeblock>fink --use-binary-dist install wget-ssl</codeblock> > <p>or</p> > <codeblock>fink -b install wget-ssl</codeblock> > <p> > will first download all dependencies for wget-ssl that are available from the > binary distribution and only build the remainder from source. This option can > also be enabled permanently in the <xref chapter="conf">Fink configuration > file</xref> (fink.conf) or by running the command <code>fink configure</code>. > </p> > <p> > More details about the <code>fink</code> tool are available in the chapter > <xref chapter="usage">"Using the fink Tool from the Command Line"</xref>. > </p> 739,740c759,774 < packages.

Note that if you have > changed or added to files in the stable or unstable trees, using rsync will > delete them. Make a backup first. <em>cvs</em> will download using anonymous or > :ext: cvs access from the fink repository. This has the disadvantage that cvs > can not switch mirrors, if the server is unavailable you will not be able to > update. <em>point</em> will download only the latest released version of the > packages. It is not recommended as your packages may be quite out of date. > </p> > </li> > <li> > <p> > <em>UseBinaryDist:</em> boolean</p> > <p> > Causes fink to try to download pre-compiled binary packages from the binary > distribution if available and if the binary package is not already on the > system.
