[Fink-users] Preventing the update of a specific package
Hello I just installed a package from unstable that necessitated the compilation of gcc43. On this slow machine, this process tool half a day. Is there a way I can prevent this from occurring again when I issue fink update-all or anything like that ? Thanks. -- ___ Fink-users mailing list Fink-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users

(I have to chuckle at half a day--on 10.4 on my G4 it takes 3 days to build gcc43; on 10.5 it's more like a day and a half on the same machine, if I recall correctly) If you want to keep a specific package out of the upgrade list, you'll just have to avoid using update-all. We don't have update-all-except; though a little shell script could do that. Or, there are unofficial binary distributions; where unofficial means that the project doesn't control them, and therefore if there's a bad binary all we can do is try to fix whatever is causing the misbuild and tell you to rebuild whatever package is problematic. -- ___ Fink-users mailing list Fink-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users

Since fink is so similar in certain ways to apt-get (even has some of those commands), I was wondering if there was something like a hold on a package.

[Fink-users] Questions about package database on http://www.finkproject.org/
I'm getting some really weird results from the package search function on http://www.finkproject.org/. I'm trying to see if there are any available updates to svn-client. (I'm running fink 0.28.6 and tracking unstable source on MacOS 10.5, intel.) So I went to http://www.finkproject.org/, clicked on the packages link in the left sidebar, entered svn-client in the box, hit Submit. The immediate result makes sense; it lists a bunch of packages, including svn-client, whose latest version is 1.5.4-2 (which is what I'm currently running). However, when I click on the package name to bring up the page with details about that specific package, I get very strange results; screenshot attached. I'm deeply suspicious about two things: first, why does the title of the page say svn-client-0.33.1-1 and not svn-client or svn-client-1.5.4-2? And second, why doesn't the chart list 1.5.4-2 as being available in unstable? Am I misinterpreting these results? Or is there something strange with the program that produces them? Or is it really the case that the version of svn-client available for 10.4 is more recent than that for 10.5?

If you'll look at the bottom, you'll see that the 0.33.1-1 is coming from the 10.2-gcc3.3 distribution (there are several versions for that distribution, and why it defaults to that one is a mystery to me). -- ___ Fink-users mailing list Fink-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users

Is there a way I can prevent this from occurring again when I issue fink update-all or anything like that ? M. Singh, I had a similar need, so I hacked together a python script: http://www.kilohotel.com/fink/fink_update_most.py You would need to make it executable (chmod +x fink_update_most.py) save it somewhere that is in your machine's PATH. Edit line 28 to point to a text file that lists all packages that should not be updated, one package per line. Then, instead of doing fink update- all, do fink_update_most.py. The script identifies all out of date packages, removes the ones you don't want to update, then it creates a fink command line, and asks you to confirm before it runs it. I am a very amateur programmer, so this comes with no warrantees, and I am sure there are 100 better ways to do the job. But it works for me.

Re: [Fink-users] Questions about package database on http://www.finkproject.org/
Richard, Sad to say, the automated package database is somewhat broken, and has been for quite a while. The one person on the fink core team who is an expert at this has had very limited time for fink, so this hasn't been fixed. It would be great if somebody got interested in this problem, and stepped forward as a volunteer to figure out what's going on and how to fix it. The skills required would include mysql, perl, and php. -- Dave On Jan 2, 2009, at 1:24 PM, Richard Cobbe wrote: On Fri, Jan 02, 2009 at 03:07:10PM -0500, Richard Cobbe wrote: I'm getting some really weird results from the package search function on http://www.finkproject.org/.

[Fink-users] Phynchronicity 2.3 released
I have released Phynchronicity 2.3, my GUI for the Fink Unix-software package management system on Mac OS X. Phynchronicity provides a graphical user interface for Fink, a powerful command-line tool for installing and updating thousands of Unix-based applications for the Mac. But Fink's sheer power and scale make it hard to use, even with a GUI. Phynchronicity aims to make Fink easy to use. Unlike other GUI tools for Fink, it does not overwhelm the user with options. Instead, with a simple three-pane interface, it lets users get started doing what they want to do--finding, installing, and removing packages. Phynchronicity 2.3 adds the following improvements and features: * Significantly faster application startup: now reads from cached list of Fink packages. Only queries Fink database after installing, removing, or updating a Fink package or Fink itself. * Configure Fink in Terminal using a menu command. * Can now print log output to default printer. * Now uses integrated help viewer. * Saves window position on application close. Phynchronicity is shareware; a license costs $24.95 and a 30-day demo is available. Mac OS X 10.4 is the minimum supported OS. Phynchronicity is a universal binary. For more information about Phynchronicity, including download links, see http://www.codebykevin.com/phynchronicity.html. -- Kevin Walzer Code by Kevin http://www.codebykevin.com -- ___ Fink-users mailing list Fink-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
