Dear Kyle,

Forgot to say how happy I am to see you back.


I'm glad to be back.  I've been busy with many other things, but
I have a little more time now than I used to.


To say only only one thing : I have a script that was
accelerated 5-fold by using "finch-version-cmp" (from libfinch0)
instead of "dpkg --compare-versions" ..


Heh, now that's funny to hear.  I never progressed very far on
those packages, and I didn't think anybody found them very useful.
If there's interest and my schedule has time, I may hack on them
more, although I'm a bit busy at the moment hacking on the Linux
kernel and trying to get GnomeMeeting to work on OS X

Cheers,
Kyle Moffett

Somone asked me why I work on this free (http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/)
software stuff and not get a real job. Charles Shultz had the best  
answer:


"Why do musicians compose symphonies and poets write poems? They do  
it because
life wouldn't have any meaning for them if they didn't. That's why I  
draw

cartoons. It's my life."

Dear Kyle,

Is it worth to spend such effort on antiques ?


Actually, I noticed this back before I really did any work on them.   
I've
got pwlib-1.8.4 and part of openh323-1.15.3 compiling, with nice info  
files.
While trying to get openh323 to compile, I noticed a few other bugs  
in the

old pwlib packaging.  I'll post when I've got more working.

Cheers,
Kyle Moffett

Martin,

These 'implicit dependencies' are the *mechanism* that fink uses to  
ensure that they're always there.


Our treatment of essential packages currently has a couple of,  
uh'surprising features'...so I'll be looking at changing some  
things. One of the changes under consideration is stopping these  
implicit dependencies, but this could break a lot of packages, so if  
we do this it might be best to start during construction of the 10.4  
tree.


Alternatively, maybe we could get buildfink to check for us how much  
would break this way, I'll talk to msachs about that.

A quick followup, with the following info and patch files, I was  
able to
get pwlib to build successfully.  I've also patched openh323 to  
build with
GCC 4.0 as well (It links to pwlib), and I'm testing that at the  
moment.

When I get GnomeMeeting working, I'll post a followup.


Is it worth to spend such effort on antiques ?
The current stable srcs are (http://www.gnomemeeting.org/index.php? 
rub=5&path=sources/sources)


gnomemeeting-1.2.1.tar.gz
openh323-1.15.3.tar.gz
pwlib-1.8.4.tar.gz

I just tried pwlib-1.8.4, it builds w/o problem with gcc-4.0
(only PatchScript :

  sed -ri -e '/P_MACOSX/,+40{/socklen_t/d}' include/ptlib/unix/ptlib/ 
pmachdep.h

  sed -ri -e '/P_MACOSX/,/^\#endif/c\
#include ' src/ptlib/unix/udll.cxx

)

Hopefully it is similar for the other 2...
I'll put the full info file in my exp dir, if you want to use it.
(correct shlibs, and deps..)

Best,

Jean-François
