JF JF, You should take a look at what Debian unstable currently does. A glance at their packaging shows that only the default system compiler has the info files under their original names (in gcc-4.3-doc) and that the other versions of gcc have the -4.x suffix added in their gcc-4.x-doc packages. They also seem to be bundling together their own gcc-4.x doc tarballs and crafting their own Makefiles. If we had the resources that Debian has, it would be one thing, but there are rational limits to what we can achieve here considering that the fink developer pool seems to be shrinking. Jack ps Look at... http://packages.debian.org/sid/gcc-4.2-doc http://packages.debian.org/sid/gcc-4.3-doc I notice that they don't even have a gcc-4.4-doc package to go with their gcc-4.4 package. -- ___ Fink-devel mailing list Fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.devel Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel

What Dan Macks suggested solved completely this issue,
and \emph{simplified} the pkg !
(And you could still add if you want a profile.d script
that adds to INFOPATH the info dir of the currently
installed gcc4X pkg _ or let that pkg install symlinks
in %p/share/info)

Peter Peter, I believe the submissions for gcc45-4.5.0-1001 and gcc44-4.4.4-1000 are basically done. While I realize that JF wants to always have the info files present under their original names (sans suffix) when the main gcc4x package is deinstalled, I don't think this is 1) easy to do and 2) worth holding up the packages. We should assume that the users aren't total idiots and will realize that, like the programs and man pages, the info files are also suffixed. If Daniel wants to update the packages later with some more elegant approach to retaining the info files with their original names, he is welcome to do so. My only concern about the merit of that approach is the following. It is entirely unclear to me how (except by resorting to an explicit path to the info file) that the user would know exactly which info file he is looking at. So for example, if you wanted information on the new LTO features in gcc 4.6.0, how would you know that you aren't actually looking at the older info file from gcc 4.5.0. It almost seems like the solution (co-existing info files under the original names) would be as bad as the original problem (having to use the -fsf-4.x suffix). We also need the newer cloog-0.15.9 package installed into unstable as well. You can also reduce the revision number on gcc45 to 1000 if you like. I had it at 1001 to test upgrades from the older style packaging without the split-off. Jack ps Steven is still grinding away on Mach-O LTO so we should be able to get that into the upcoming gcc45-4.5.1 package one way or another. pps Of course, they could always just give me back my commit access to the cvs which would make your life simplier. -- ___ Fink-devel mailing list Fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.devel Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
