Hi there,any progress with the matplotlib package? I am still also getting a patch file with wrong md5sum on selfupdate, but I suspect it might be rather the updated patch file is still missing from the repo than the patch updated without the checksum.

You're much better off running "fink index -f" first if you think you have an incorrect package description rather than removing files, because fink normally uses a stored cache rather than the physical files. Occasionally there are situations where the cache doesn't get updated even after the files change. In this case, the package fails the md5 test because the patchfile got updated without a corresponding update in the .info file. The appropriate thing to do in such cases is to contact the package maintainer, since they are the ones who break and fix packages. :-) (or in principle you could edit/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/sci/matplotlib-py.info and changethe PatchFile-MD5 entry) However, you probably don't want to do that, because I found some problems with the patch (maintainer cc'ed). After changing the PatchFile-MD5 I got: [ -r /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/sci/matplotlib-py.patch ] sed 's|@PREFIX@|/sw|g' </sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/sci/matplotlib-py.patch | patch -p1patching file setup.cfg patching file setup.py Hunk #1 succeeded at 266 with fuzz 2 (offset 11 lines). patching file setupext.pypatch: **** malformed patch at line 27: # make -f make.osx fetchdeps mpl_build mpl_install
Looks like the patch is not complete yet. I also found when trying to update on my own, that mpl 1.0.0 needs an extra patch to build against fink's python rather than the framework-based system python. The attached one allows it to build (on 10.5 + 10.6
anyway), but of course the warning might still apply, so YMMV.I also noted that matplotlib-py27, while it builds and runs this way, is not running very well, i.e. mouse input in the plot window has basically no effect at all on powerpc, and produces loads of errors and ipython crashes on intel. Maybe I am missing some other fix for py27.
One last request to the maintainer - could you consider changing the Depends: numeric, numarray to Suggests: ... or something the like?They have not been required for running matplotlib for some time, and I think anyone who needs to hold on to these packages at this time should know so on their own...
HTH,
Derek
