[Fink-devel] moving dependencies from g95 to gcc42

2007-02-11 Thread Jack Howarth
   I would like to see those packages that currently depend
on g95 dumped out into stable, if possible, so we can concentrate
on using gcc42 as the stock dependency in unstable. Gfortran
in gcc42 shouldn't be missing any major features compared to
g95. Also if there are any particular bugs in gcc 4.2 that
prevent it replacing g95, these should be identified and
that information passed back upstream to the gcc developers.
Currently, I see the following packages need to be ported
to use gcc42 instead of g95...

freefem++
hdf5
melina
modulef
narg
netcdf
cfitsio
pdftk
raster3d
atlas
fftw
fftw3
wip
biconv
r-base
scipy-py
octave
octave-forge
pgplot
scilib-atlas

I would like to point out that a number of the
middle-layer and optimizer gcc compiler developers
are now working on tweaking the gfortran front
end to better use GIMPLE, etc. Currently gfortran
in gcc42 already generates significantly faster
code than g95 (which doesn't, and is unlikely to
ever, directly use the middle-layer optimizers).
This speed advantage will only increase with
time so it is wise to transition over to gcc
for our fortran needs. Using gfortran also has
the advantage of having a coherent mechanism for
reporting and checking on bugs compared to g95
as well as proper testsuite to prevent regressions.

[Fink-devel] handle tgz files

2007-02-11 Thread Jesse Alama
While working on a new emacs22-carbon package, I found that fink
doesn't seem to recognize tbz (bzip'd tar files).  The problem is
simple enough to fix: it looks like changing line 3302 of
PkgVersion.pm to

} elsif ($archive =~ /[\.\-]tar\.bz2$/ or $archive =~ /\.tbz$/) 
{

is enough.

I see this too. I don't know what the answer is - I think it's a bug

[Fink-devel] arch specific source files

2007-02-11 Thread Jack Howarth
   I am looking at revising whatcheck to compile with
gfortran on both ppc and intel darwin. However, I will
need a way to have different sets of database files
downloaded depending upon the architecture doing the
build. The current packaging is hardcoded to download
the big endian version of these files. Another way
to fix this issue might be to have compile the
program to byteswap on binary reads for the Intel
build (which I believe is possible in gfortran).
However I was curious if I can simply have the
little endian databases downloaded if the build is
on Intel.

You can use the Architecture: field to tag a .info file as being for
only a specific arch. So two separate .info files, one for each arch,
each one fetching the source appropriate for that arch.

Re: [Fink-devel] Do we now allow - in revision strings? (package validation results)

2007-02-11 Thread Daniel Macks

 Hi folks,
 
 I felt a bit bored today and thus decided to run the validator over  
 all .info files in the 10.4 unstable tree. I got a smattering of  
 errors and warnings (see the attached file). I already emailed some  
 maintainers to ask them specifically to fix some of the issues listed  
 there. But I am wondering about the following one:
 
 Error: Package revision may only contain lowercase letters,  
 numbers,'.' and '+' (emacs21-nox.info)

I had emailed bmaret about the hyphenated Revision problem a few days
ago, and I believe he fixed many of them.

 So right now, our validator doesn't allow - in the package  
 revisions. I think this has (or at least, used to have) a good reason  
 -- the dash is used as a separator and various fink commands use it  
 to parse version-revision strings. This becomes ambiguous if the  
 revision (or version, for that matter) contains dashes.

Correct. It's a carry-over from the dpkg world, where stuff after the
last hyphen is the revision.

 OTOH, as far as I can tell, we do not properly specify the allowed  
 values for Revision (at least http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/ 
 packaging/reference.php#fields doesn't).
 
 Hence we should
 
 1) Decide whether we want to allow - in revision or not; in fact,  
 decide what specifically we want to allow (only numbers? the same as  
 in the name field? maybe only numbers? only numbers and  
 underscores?... ?)

Revision currently accepts the same set of chars as Version, with the
exception that hyphen is forbidden. Underscores are a delimiter in
.deb package-names, and aren't allowed anywhere in any of the
name/version-related fields.

 Most of the time this is due to an upstream error, they have '-L./foo/ 
 bar -lbar' in their Makefile.am where they should have './foo/bar/ 
 libbar.la'. If libtool recognizes a library as being relative to the  
 build directory and not an installed library, then it will not add it  
 to dependency_libs.

That particular cause of this particular issue is already on the fink
wiki at

http://wiki.finkproject.org/index.php/Fink:Porting_Notes

though we don't describe the specific validator error message.
