[Fink-devel] ncurses 5.3

2003-02-15 Thread Chris Zubrzycki
Ok. I have finally committed ncurses 5.3, and just wanted to let everyone know. I have verified that the previously missing symbols are in fact there, and tested the libs with old and new ncurses progs, no problems. I also committed versions for 10.1, which i know at least a few people use. I

[Fink-devel] cctools virtual package

2003-02-15 Thread David R. Morrison
I've made a patch for Fink which supplies a cctools virtual package: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=687178group_id=17203atid=317203 After some discussion on #fink, we concluded that this package should be BuildDependsOnly = True, and as such, we won't need to make dpkg

[Fink-devel] new package manager release

2003-02-15 Thread David R. Morrison
There have been no updates to the Fink package manager for two weeks, other then Ben Hines' adding 10.2.4 as a recognized OS X version this morning. Max said he wanted to do more things before the next package manager release, but I would prefer not to wait forever. I propose that a few people

[Fink-devel] Fink Documentation revision -- switch to .cshrc?

2003-02-15 Thread Neal Parikh
Hi, I was talking to drm in #fink earlier, and he said I should email the list with my suggestion for Fink documentation. I end up helping a lot of people install, configure, or use Fink, and in my experience, when things go wrong, it is often related to a $PATH error and .cshrc. People get

I do not mind that much if we change to .tcshrc from a techincal point of view. What I fear, though, is that we also will have some troubles in the transition period. Basically not so advanced users with a .cshrc based setup will start reading about .tcshrc. In the worst case, they may start

[Fink-devel] index behaviour change (post 0.11.x)

2003-02-15 Thread Max Horn
After suffering from extremely bad fink performance on my iBook in the past couple months (despite the nice improvements recently done), I begin to wonder if maybe we should reconsider our current package DB indexing behavior. The current approach is restricted in its performance by the fact

I can confirm this, the same thing happened to me once within the last two or three days--due to a patch file which was no longer present/pertinent. No insight to offer towards a solution, sorry :( 'sudo fink index' bypassed the problem. On Saturday, February 15, 2003, at 10:03 pm, Ben Hines
