Hi. I'd like to have folks migrate their packages which use netcdf* or hdf5* to use my newer versions if possible. The current families for these are as follows.
netCDF-4.2: netcdf-bin netcdf-c7 netcdf-c7-shlibs netcdf-cxx4 netcdf-cxx4-shlibs netcdf-fortran5 netcdf-fortran5-shlibs HDF5-1.8.8, version 1.8.X API: hdf5.7 hdf5.7-bin hdf5.7-shlibs hdf5.7-gfortran HDF5-1.8.8, version 1.6.X API: hdf5.7-oldapi hdf5.7-oldapi-bin hdf5.7-oldapi-shlibs hdf5.7-oldapi-gfortran The older versions that'd I'd like to deprecate are netCDF-4.1.3: netcdf7, netcdf7-bin, netcdf7-shlibs, netcdf7-gfortran, netcdf7-gfortran-shlibs netCDF-3.6.3: netcdf, netcdf-shlibs, netcdf-gfortran, netcdf-gfortran-shlibs, netcdf-g95, netcdf-g95-shlibs HDF5-1.8.5-patch1: hdf-18, hdf5-18-bin hdf5-18-shlibs hdf5-18-gfortran HDF5-1.6.10: hdf5, hdf5-bin, hdf5-shlibs Packages that use hdf5 or hdf5-18 can't move to Lion+, because I'm not allowing the ancient hdf5 and old hdf5-18 there. hdf5.7 is "easier to use" than is hdf5-18, because it isn't installed in a private directory tree, whereas the latter is. On the other hand, hdf5.7-oldapi is "harder to use" than hdf5, because it _is_ installed in a private directory tree and the latter is not. netcdf is downright old. For packages that don't use the netCDF C++ interface (check your binaries with 'otool -L'), one should be able to replace BuildDepends: netcdf directly with BuildDepends: netcdf-c7, and Depends: netcdf-shlibs with Depends: netcdf-c7-shlibs. Dependencies on "netcdf-bin" can remain unchanged. To convert packages over from netcdf7 to netcdf-c7 depends on what the package does for netCDF detection. Some newer packages use the "nc-config" executable which netCDF-4.x provides, and these don't require much fiddling. Otherwise, one will probably need to get rid of references to netcdf7's private directory tree in e.g. ConfigureParams. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison http://finkakh.wordpress.com/2012/02/21/got-job/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list Fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net List archive: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.devel Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
