Set up DarwinPorts to coexist with fink
Authored by: hagbard on Jan 15, '04 04:24:32AM

Thanks for your hint, I thought darwinports was dead ;-)

I installed exactly as you hinted, but somehow, I'm getting cvs errors when installing packages. here's the error:
Error: Target com.apple.fetch returned: CVS check out failed
I cheched with the -d debug option, and it is looking for a cvs password in a file (which was installed but is empty). What's strange is that anon cvs requires only a 'return' as a password...
anybody else has the same problem ?
here's the exact error log:
DEBUG: Assembled command: 'cd "/opt/local/dports/sysutils/PortsManager/work" && CVS_PASSFILE=/opt/local/dports/sysutils/PortsManager/work/.cvspass cvs -f -d cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.opendarwin.org:/Volumes/src/cvs/od co -r HEAD PortsManager'
cvs checkout: cannot find password

I've definitely been getting the same cvs password error. I've also been unable to figure out how to get around it. I'll keep trying, but if anyone has any suggestions, please let us know!

I posted a topic on the forums about this, and got a response from blb. Essentially, he said that the cvs server is outdated, and the project for PortsManager has stalled, so it probably wouldn't work anyway. He suggested that we stick to the port cli command in the mean time.

You can fix this by doing

CVS_PASSFILE=/opt/local/dports/sysutils/PortsManager/work/.cvspass sudo cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.opendarwin.org:/Volumes/src/cvs/od login
which sets the cvs password in the special .cvspass file that this port expects.

I wouldn't say it's dead. I just installed darwinports a few weeks ago because it provides software which fink does not.

Please note that I'm writing this response almost 2 years after the original comment! :-)

I consider both fink and darwinports to be complementary.
