[Fink-devel] unmaintained packages?

2003-09-05 Thread Cunningham, Chad
Hi, I've been making a binary of webalizer available on their site for some time and I'm thinking I'd rather just add it to fink and have people grab it from there. I've noticed that webalizer (as well as zlib, which it requires) both have maintainers listed but that no releases exist in

I believe that zlib was discontinued as a Fink package (for 10.2) because the version that comes with the operating system works fine. According to my system, webalizer-2.01-10 is available in Fink via the unstable tree, and is indeed mainitained. On Friday, September 5, 2003, at 09:41 AM,

Hi, I cc this to fink-devel, because I'm not sure how to proceed. On Friday, September 5, 2003, at 03:49 AM, Jean-Francois MERTENS wrote: Hi, I get : Unpacking cernlib (from .../cernlib_2002-2_darwin-powerpc.deb) ... dpkg - warning, overriding problem because --force enabled: trying to

I'd recommend a more descriptive name ie: name yours fatmanback and there will no longer be a conflict. On 5-Sep-03, at 11:58 AM, Remi Mommsen wrote: To my understanding the update-alternatives should be used for programs providing similar functionality. However the fatback executable from

Hi, That's the quick and dirty hack. The problem is, that you'll break the compatibility with other platforms. Any user/script must be made aware that fatback is called differently on Mac OS X. This is not impossible in my view, as fatback is not widely used. But I hope to find a better

this is the solution that all pkging systems use and run into. if a program has the same name and they both provide different functionality one much be renamed, or the pkgs must conflict, but conflicting pkgs are a pain for ppl that want both pkgs and should be avoided unless abosolutly

Another option would be to create an auxiliary directory, e.g. %p/share/cernlib/bin, and put the executables there, then add this directory to the head of the PATH. The user would call the cernlib fatback if no path is given. This should mitigate any cross-platform headaches. This was done

this is not a good idea since it'll pick the first on in the path hash, thus if you have /sw/bin/blah and /sw/bin/blahfoo/blah and add it to the end or beginning of the path hash only one will work, depending on the order. Renaming the binary is a much better alternative. On 5-Sep-03, at 1:04
