Fink:FinkProject

The Fink project is now running its own server at finkproject.org, thanks to the generosity of www.xs4all.nl.

Note: a number of services provided by the server require authentication. THERE IS SOMETHING NONSTANDARD ABOUT OUR CERTIFICATE; HERE IS HOW TO GET YOUR SYSTEM TO RECOGNIZE IT.

Currently, we host the following components of fink on this server:

• This wiki
• The main fink website
• The package database
• The Distfiles project (originally a joint effort with MacPorts (formerly DarwinPorts))
• The archive browser
• The master server for selfupdate via rsync
• DNS Hosting

Details on server administration are here.

We do not yet have specific plans to migrate the remaining external components to this server:

• The package-submissions and other trackers (presently hosted on SourceForge).
• The mailing lists (presently hosted on SourceForge).
• The CVS repository (presently hosted on SourceForge).
• The file release system (presently hosted on SourceForge).
