Re: [Fink-devel] Release Annoucements for websites..

2002-12-12 Thread Max Horn
A few more notes by me:

fink should be Fink here: fink is the package manager, Fink the whole 
distro. Also, kde3 - KDE3. I present a slightly shorter alternate 
headline, tell me which one you like more... I agree that we should 
not try overly much to advertise for OS X, that is a maybe good idea 
if we announce this in a Unix forum, and want to get people to 
convert to OS X, but on fink-announce, people will hardly be 
impressed. So I ended up with this:


Fink 0.5.0a brings UNIX power to OS X 10.2 (Jaguar)
OR
UNIX applications run on OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) with Fink release 0.5.0a
--
Fink, the free open source UNIX porting project for Mac OS X, reached 
another milestone December 8th with the release of version 0.5.0a. 
This release brings full Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) compatibility. 
Applications included in Fink range from well-known UNIX desktops 
such as KDE3 and GNOME, open-source alternatives for graphics editing 
such as the Gimp, and special-purpose applications for genetic and 
molecular modeling. In total, over 700 binary packages for Mac OS X 
as well as over 1800 source packages can be easily installed (and 
removed) with the aid of fink.

Fink 0.5.0a is available at http://fink.sf.net/



What do you think?

Well even if they are released, I think that overdoes it - it is not 
as if there are serious bugs that force everybody to update. In fact, 
it doesn't always help to be bleeding edge.

Although I am eagerly waiting for bug fixes to two or three compiler 
issues myself, I probably won't be able to install the new dev tools 
immediatly due to lack of HD space shrug.

Max,

Fink is totally awesome!
I'd never be able to go back to OS 9 now, from having access to
latex-apps, stunnel, etc. With fink I know that if I need any
unix-app, there is one place where I can find it. Fink opened a new
world for me.

Keep up the good work!

[Fink-devel] Fink Rebuild question

2002-12-12 Thread Patrick Sodré
Hi,
   I'm porting openafs to fink and it takes a long time to recompile 
openafs. Is there ANY way that I can skip the compilation step and go 
straight to Splitting off the packages?

Thanks,

Re: [Fink-devel] December 2002 devtools up

2002-12-12 Thread David R. Morrison
Ben, don't we have to do something about that new environment variable,
whatever it is, before we get users to upgrade?  (I can't recall and 
haven't installed the new tools yet myself.)

This might require the release of a new version of the package manager,
which sets that environment variable?

I'm a bit concerned, BTW, about the status of the package manager.  As far
as I could see when this was actively being discussed, the -isystem business
is going to cause trouble with some handful of packages, and this means
that someone needs to take charge of getting those packages fixed up and
investigating the whole business before that change is released to the
user community (or at least, before it becomes stable).  On the other
hand, there are various minor fixes such as this new environment variable
which need to see the light of day sooner rather than later.  Can anybody
suggest a strategy here?

[Fink-devel] MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET

2002-12-12 Thread David R. Morrison
After some discussion on #fink this morning, we arrived at a strategy for
handling the MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET environment variable.

Seems that this has been present since the July developer tools, and was
defaulting to 10.1.  In the near future, the compiler will start issuing
warnings when this is set to 10.1 but compilation is done on 10.2.

However, changing it completely for Fink would change the binaries (and
deb files) which Fink produces.  And even if we were to have Fink explicitly
set this to the default value of 10.1, these warnings will persist.

So, the suggested strategy is that we should add an item to the FAQ which
tells users not to worry if they get the weak dylibs warning, and we
should also implement a SetMACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET command in Fink so
that maintainers can easily bump this to 10.2.  Note that maintainers will
need to make a new revision of their packages when they alter the value
of this environment variable.

Comments?

[Fink-devel] can we upgrade blt to stable?

2002-12-12 Thread William Scott
Hi Matt:

I've been making use of blt regularly for the last few months without 
problems and I believe it is fine.  I had to recompile it after 
upgrading to tcltk version 8.4 (in unstable) but other than that it 
hasn't caused any problems for me at least, and a lot of people who 
were apparently waiting for Fink's upgrade to 0.5.0a before upgrading 
to 10.2.x have now done so and have emailed me wondering where it went. 
 (Ditto for mozilla, BTW, which also seems to work fine in my hands.)


Thanks.

fink info ccache

it makes rebuilding very short, and make sure you install the -default 
splitoff if you want fink to be able to use it. It makes ccache the 
default, however, so dont forget to set a cache size limit.

Branching would not be a problem.

To me it sees a larger portions of the issues caused by the -isystem 
changes could be resolved by adding a -w (to turn off warnings), as 
was discussed previously.

In the worst case, we can revert those changes, of course.


Finally, we should not relay on the December tools before late 
January, I'd say, and even then I am not happy about this. In the 
very least, packages relaying on that version of the dev tools should 
check for them and error out. I don't expect the average joe to 
update unless they have to.

I'd rather not see a situttion develop wherein fink will insist on 
building, and rebuilding mozilla in situations where
-/sw/bin/mozilla mypage.html
+open -a /Applications/Omniweb mypage.html

That is what the launch package is for. (URL helper, lets you do 
launch http://www.cnn.com/; - opens in default OS X browser). AFAIK 
most of the apps that depend on mozilla really do need its libraries. 
Mozilla is far more than a browser, it is an entire application 
framework and environment.

Fine, then the alternative is add this flag to literally every package 
by hand. At which time it can be added to fink. ?

md5sum itself to see whether anyone else is mirroring it too.

Here Google reveals that Debian is mirroring whois,  
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/w/whois/whois_4.6.0.tar.gz so it  
could be added as an alternate CustomMirror:

Source: mirror:custom:%n_%v.tar.gz

It would be nice to be able to just add  
mirror:debian:pool/main/w/%n/%n_%v.tar.gz, but fink doesn't support  
mirror designations within CustomMirror yet. See:

Just want to check in before I build the new .info

.. so just don't use a CustomMirror.


Source: mirror:debian:pool/main/w/%n/%n_%v.tar.gz

works fine.

Re: [Fink-devel] sablotron

Compile with 'g++' instead of 'gcc', or add -lstdc++ .

hi there,

I hope this list is an OK place to post this request. I'm trying to 
port sablotron to OS X 10.2. As far as I can tell, it's not been 
discussed here before. I've got a page up at

http://simonwoodside.com/dev/axkit.html#sablot

that goes over what I've done so far but I'm stuck on an undefined 
symbol error that looks like a linking problem with gcc3 but I may be 
way off, this is my first port:

[simons-tibook:~/sandbox/xml] woodside% /usr/local/bin/sabcmd 
faq2html.xsl faq.xml
dyld: /usr/local/bin/sabcmd Undefined symbols:
__ZTVN10__cxxabiv117__class_type_infoE
__ZTVN10__cxxabiv120__si_class_type_infoE
___gxx_personality_v0
Trace/BPT trap

FWIW, I originally ran into this problem trying to build 
XML::Sablotron for perl but the sabcmd crash has the same symbols 
missing. PHP seems to have a similar problem documented 
(http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=19983) but they have a workaround.

Re: [Fink-devel] Suggestions for a package where source keeps disappearing?

2002-12-12 Thread Carsten Klapp

True Ben, but I meant to point out that it is not possible to combine 
the primary site (and secondary sites) together with a fink mirror 
list, within a CustomMirror field like this:

Source: mirror:custom:%n_%v.tar.gz
CustomMirror: 
 Primary: http://www.linux.it/~md/software/
 mirror: debian:/debian/pool/main/w/%n/


:)

You could just ignore the main site altogether and use Source: 
mirror:debian:/debian/pool/main/w/%n/%n_%v.tar.gz instead of the long 
custommirror list. Of course you wouldn't get the latest version of 
whois until debian updates their mirrors, I suppose it's up to you 
(Brian).

I poked around a bit inside of /sw/lib/perl5/Fink/Mirror.pm. I can 
imagine around line 111 some new code might go in to allow such a 
feature but I have no experience writing perl :(.

[Fink-devel] Fwd: [Fink-beginners] Gramps installation question (pil broken)

I think this is the problem with gramps, pil doesnt actually build:

-I/sw/src/root-pil-1.1.2-13/sw/include/python2.2-I/sw/include/python2.2

However, the build does not fail, so we probably just didn't notice.

Is this possibly due to a missing dependency in the installation?  Or 
is it
due to some other error. Or is it just a bug in the software?

Thank you for any advice.

[Fink-devel] postinstall.pl symlink

2002-12-12 Thread Ben Hines
I noticed fink/dists is a symlink to the full path of 10.2:

ln -s /sw/fink/10.2 /sw/fink/dists

Wouldn't it be better to do:

ln -s 10.2 /sw/fink/dists

Then i wouldn't get confused when copying my fink installs around, when 
I cd into /swbackup/fink/dists and it goes to the other install's dists 
. :)  Also it would probably increase performance a tiny bit somewhere 
(fewer paths to traverse in the link).

However, if /sw/fink/dists is there already and you run that command, 
it creates:

lrwxr-xr-x1 ben  staff   4 Dec 12 22:50 10.2 - 10.2

in /sw/fink/dists.. so you should remove the current symlink before 
creating the new one in postinstall.pl. (looks like it already does 
that, anyway)
