Re: [Fink-devel] Re: packages that are part of the system
I'm not sure if you got a response to your initial message or not. Apple has added a number of new open source pacakges with each major release of OS X. So far, fink's philosophy has been to keep providing a fink version of the package, even after Apple is providing their own. (The only exception to this that I can recall is with libz, which is no longer provided by fink.) There are several reasons for this. One is that we don't yet trust Apple to be consistent in what they provide. (For example, they used to provide wget, which fink relied on, and then at a certain point they switched to curl. So we no longer trust them to provide either one of these, since they might switch back.) A second reason is that many users will already have the fink version of the library linked in to their packages, and upgrading becomes pretty tricky if we were to try to revert to Apple's version. A third reason is that Apple is not always good about keeping packages current, and fink does that more frequently. All of that being said, there may be some reason to drop a few of the packages which Apple has added (or which they will add in 10.3). but these should be discussed on a case by case basis. -- Dave --- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.

[Fink-devel] Re: Fink documents hacked during install on OSX
Am Sonntag, 27.07.03 um 17:43 Uhr schrieb Lewis Pusey: The following is the message I sent to Debian and is related to the Fink install on Mac. Err, hu? You sent a message to debian (what does that mean, some debian mailing list?) related to Fink? Fink is completely separate project of Debian. There is no relation between the two projects, and sending mails to Debian regarding Fink is like sending mail to Apple regarding MS Word... :-) I am not the best address to email such things either. Email them to the fink-devel mailing list (I am CCing my reply there)! The problem is not directly Debian. When using the Fink installer for OSX I save the documentation to the Document folder of the Home directory in Mac. When I need to delete my fink installation and re-install I use the saved documentation. The problem is that once I eject the installer image the web page documentation becomes pornographic and links me to pornographic sites. No doubt the Russian hackers are exploiting some vulnerability of Internet Explorer browser cache and having a duplicate Browser doc on Desktop and the Home folder at the same time. I don't quite follow you there... what web page documentation, and how does it link to a porn site ?!? Could you give some more specific information? Like, what files are you talking about, what *exactly* are you doing, etc. Do you mean the Fink binary installer got hacked somehow and contains files that link to a porn site? My suggestion is to have a Fink Docs in a non-browser format. This may concern you if you have a link with Fink or the are exploiting Linux in this hack as well, such as the default path in SW /user/ used by Fink. Again I am afraid I don't understand what you are trying to say... I am not a native english speaker, my language skills are not sufficient to decode what you are trying to tell me, sorry, can you please rephrase? You want to say something like that a link to a fixed location like /sw/share/docs is bad, because it could be exploited by hackers ?!? If that's what you meant, I don't understand it, though, since to exploit that, the hacker would have to have access to your machine already anyway.

Just to keep you guys up to date on this problem, this is fixed in the
FSF's CVS version of gcc
by: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2003-07/msg02565.html.
Thanks for the information. Since this patch does not apply directly to
the gcc-3.3 sources, I changed it somewhat so that it does (I also
removed some hot air from the original patch). With this patch, Fink's
g77-3.3-2 package produces a g77 compiler that seems to agree with
Apples's new assembler. I have not tested it extensively, but at least
the couple of fortran programs where this bug was detected are compiling
corectly now.
I am not sure if this modified patch for gcc-3.3 is a valid backport of
Geoff Keating's patch for gcc-cvs, but if no one objects, this patch
would be a simple solution for the g77/as problem, at least for Fink.
Apple would still have to release updates for their gcc-2.95-2, gcc-3.1,
and gcc-3.3. They are claiming now, after all, that their compilers
always produced erroneous code. So they should fix them.
Here is the modified patch. I also put a copy into my experimental
directory on fink cvs.

Re: [Fink-devel] Re: packages that are part of the system
does it come with ldap support? I think not, the reason for all of these pkgs are a) missing build time features b) so we link again finks version and not apples, linking against apples can totally kill fink if apple decides to release un updated lib and we didn't know this way fink can make a strategy and work around it when upgrading our own libs. I my self have wanted many pkgs removed or system versions made, but after 1 year of running a system like that I'm totally against it.

[Fink-devel] Giving up packages: postfix.* and gdal
Hey, Both postfix-release and gdal need updating, and I haven't had time recently to do what needs to be done. Having an unstable computer doesn't help things. Anyway, if anyone would like to take over those packages, I would appreciate it. There are newer postfix packages than those in CVS in the submission tracker, #743083. Steven M. Bytnar created TLS and SASL enabled versions of postfix that I based postfix-tls off of, but I can't find his email address. I don't think he wanted to maintain the packages, though. Please email me directly -- email to the list gets filtered into a separate mailbox via procmail and it's kind of a pain to access right now since I just wiped my hard disk and will probably wipe it and reinstall a few more times over the next week.
