[Fink-devel] Are you a graphics designer, can you help me and thus Fink?
Hello. Some might know, that I currently try to improve the PR, look and feel and Documentation of Fink. Thus I am trying to gather a few ideas and contributions to enhance the website and documentation in the future. If you are someone involved with graphic design or an artsy person, please do not hesitate getting busy. I am looking forward to seeing icons for the website and maybe a Logo which will brand the Fink project even further. Currently this is a request to collect some basic ideas and gauges what is in the back of your head. You can send stuff in as PSD, Adobe Indesign, Illustrator or any other graphic format.What I am mainly looking for is informative icons, such as "news" "attention","documentation", "download" etc etc and a Main Fink logo. Please keep in mind, that this will be a website only logo for now and thuse it needs to fit into the website layout with its dimensions. I know that I am not supplying much information, yet I am doing this on purpose. I simply wish to see what ideas might be popping up. Of course I shall try to put every work I receive online so that we all can have a look at your excellent pieces of work.

[Fink-devel] libpng woes (forwarded)
From: Thomas Thatcher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Dave, An avid fink user in the MacOSX Hints forum has reported an unusual problem this morning. I wonder if you might know anything about it since the cvs update for this morning installed new versions of libpng which is supposedly wrecking gnome and some other package installs. The following is a copy of his post to the forum: Gnome Warning!!! If you have Gnome installed, and you do a "fink update-all", you are in for a bad surprise. The update will uninstall libpng 1.0.12-6 and replace it with libpng3 which in turn will dump all your Gnome graphics into an unreadable state. You will get a warning that Gnome was compiled with 1.0.12 and that the libpng3 won't work. So the logical thing to do would be to uninstall/reinstall to a libpng 1.0.12 and then totally rebuild Gnome-core. But no, that does not work! In other words, if you like using Gnome, and you do a Fink update-all, you will trash Gnome into a totallu unuseable state, never to work again. You can rebuild all you want. It won't work. I deleted-reinstalled-rebuilt, using every possible combination of building and nothing works. *&*$% @#$^% &^& *&*&^%!! Now I haven't notified the Fink Folks. I am to &*&^%^%$%en mad. I let Sao do it if he has the same problem. He is more patient than I. I am really mad. EDIT: So I checked everything else out. Windowmaker is half-trashed, Blackbox the same. In other words, a simple "fink update-all" totally trashed my Fink install this morning. I give up! I am pulling out my Debian PPC CDs that I had someone burn for me last week. Bye-bye OSX and Fink!!! ToodleLoo Kind folks Back to Debian.. Glanz Last edited by Glanz on 01-21-2003 at 07:40 AM .. Please can you direct me to the proper place to advise on all this? Thank you.

[Fink-devel] Re: libpng woes (forwarded)
OK, we have a pretty serious problem here. As some of you know, it began with kde, where it was discovered that compiling kde with libpng3 led to runtime problems apparently caused by imlib not having been updated to libpng3. So someone updated imlib to libpng3, and now gnome users are having tremendous trouble. There are two issues: (1) how to we quickly restore things to a stable state for the sake of our users, and (2) how do we ever do these upgrades correctly? The only solution to (1) that I see is to downgrade everything back to libpng. I don't know a solution to (2) at the moment.

That or to *upgrade* everything to libpng3. As far as I'm aware they're source-compat.

Since the deps are all indirect, isn't it possible to rebuild the packages that link libpng against libpng3 and the ones using libpng3 already would just work? The way the warning messages come out, it sounds like it's a runtime issue of loading 2 versions of the same library, not that the libpng3 app is somehow also getting libpng symbols at build-time... But yeah, if that is the case, we'd have to upgrade everything that touches it and force a versioned dep. Erg... --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Scholarships for Techies!

Re: [Fink-devel] Re: libpng woes (forwarded)
My understanding from earlier discussions is that if you have imlib installed and build a package which uses imlib-config, then -lpng is inserted into your link line. Since libpng and libpng3 both use libpng.dylib, the thing the resulting binary is linked to depends on which version of libpng was installed when you made this compile. So I guess we need explicit build-dependencies to the correct version of libpng any time it is going to be invoked. -- Dave --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Scholarships for Techies!

Well something like BuildDep: bleh 1.4 RundDep: bleh 1.4 could resolve such an issue. That way you can force another package to rebuild. If the Run Dependency is higher than the installed library the package has to rebuild. Of course this would introduce more load to the dependency code, because there is a need to check which packages need XY to Build F and which packages need XY to only run.

Seems vitriolic. It looked like there was some confusion with respect to the cause of the problem, so I posted a clarification including the imlib version numbers.
