Installing fink from a CVS checkouts does something similar--it generates a .info file, which is revision tagged to the time in which the installation is started, and a source tarball which only carries the current version assigned to CVS checkouts (0.29.99.cvs currently). I could see creating a wrapper package with a script that a user would run to do the svn updates, stash tarballs in %p/src to allow rebuilds if needed, and generate package description files with dynamic versioning or revisioning. If we were to decide to give fink the ability to do checkouts from repositories, from a support standpoint a scheme that uses the current pull svn will be harder to debug than a scheme which checks out a defined revision number. In the latter case, a developer can just try to build/install a package as usual to confirm a problem, and I don't see that as particularly easy if packages build against current svn. - -- Alexander Hansen Fink User Liaison -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkvHTCsACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ/WmwCggYYzarGzM3e859OFbzajbK6J pJAAn0U04z7rNNuybjnINwFUFJRAG6ND =kOUK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
