Re: [Fink-devel] GPG Signing the info file and patches..

2002-12-07 Thread Carsten
Hi David, Debian has a package called debsigs for embedding GPG sigs into debs. (I think the current version is 0.1.14, look for it in the admin section. I haven't tried it out yet). May be worth a look to see whether it can be adapted for fink before starting anything from scratch. Carsten

OK, sorry about the sloppy specification of my software versions. OS 10.2.2 plus July + August dev tools and the Oct patch. I am well aware of the August-only install problem, but it is not the case here. I'm compiling other software all the time and it has all been working well. For that matte

2002-12-07 Thread bbum
Instead of trying to pass the compiler make flag into make itself -- something that just about every planet on the package has a note in the README of 'you can try parallel make if you want, but if it breaks, turn it off'-- why not build packages in parallel, if the developer so desires. If a

Okay, my $0.02 as a user: The model for this exists somewhat already--fink.config. Just as I add the unstable trees, why can I not select ALL my global fink install options in that file or even turn them on or off temporarily for a particular install such as Qt or Kde3 if I know I am going away

OK, after seeing others' posts, I ignored the checksum error and proceeded, but on the first time around I got a seg fault while building apt. On a second try, it compiled fine. So I think it was a random glitch but am posting these results anyways in case they mean more to someone else... Late

Hi, what with gcc not being exactly speedy, and some of these projects being quite large, is there any reason why we default to -O3 when building many of these packages? It seems to me -O does plenty well in the common case, and its the common case we tend to worry about most. Any comments or insi
