Hi, As a new user to fink and apple in general, I'm very happy to see that there's so much activity on developping and porting stuff to the Darwin system. Thanks for making this Apple stuff more accessable for a BSD/Linux admin of ten years :-)
I installed cdrecord and cdrdao. Because I have a powerbook/combodrive, my recorder likes to be called IODVDServices. To set this as a systemwide default, one can write this into a settings file in /etc/defaults/cdrdao, which seems to me like a unix default unwanted in a fink environment. Now, for cdrecord, this file IS /sw/etc/defaults/cdrecord when you install the package (which is as expected), but cdrdao tries to open them in the 'normal unix' path. Tracing the binaries, I see them opening: 6297 cdrecord NAMI "/sw/etc/default/cdrecord" 6297 cdrecord NAMI "/sw/etc/default/cdrecord" 6297 cdrecord NAMI "/sw/etc/default/cdrecord" (yes it opens this file three times), but cdrdao tries this: 6291 cdrdao NAMI "/etc/cdrdao.conf" 6291 cdrdao NAMI "/etc/defaults/cdrdao" 6291 cdrdao NAMI "/Users/pim/.cdrdao" Now for the remark: can the cdrdao package maintainer please explain a rationale for this behavior, or ultimately have this package open /sw/etc/defaults/cdrdao at least, so I don't have to put fink config files in the /etc tree ? Thanks. -- __________________ Met vriendelijke groet, /\ ___/ Pim van Pelt /- \ _/ Business Internet Trends BV PBVP1-RIPE /--- \/ __________________ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
