Re: [Fink-devel] Can I modify outside /sw?

2003-01-10 Thread Jason Deraleau
On my machine, inetd is running rather thatn xinetd. So are you sure that this would actually work? Because you have no services for it. It checks at boot time. (see your console.log) inetd is obsolete, xinetd comes with Jaguar and is preferred (though startup items are more preferred)

it fairly separate from the rest of the filesystem. The only modification to distribution files would be in /etc/xinetd.conf, which I don't expect Apple to modify directly (they would instead modify the individual service configuration files in /etc/xinetd.d). Thoughts? -- Jason Deraleau

by default, you don't run into the confusion/problems of having the /sw directory suddenly starting appearing when you are in the Finder (I personally use SetFile -a V to hide it, I like a nice clean look). My vote i s for /opt/fink. -- Jason Deraleau

My vote is for /opt/fink. Just to clarify this, there is nothing to vote on here. There are no serious reasons to abandon /sw, but many good reasons not to do it - one of them being backward compatibility, we don't want to force 99% of fink users to redo their complete fink installation. I

Re: [Fink-devel] Global gcc 3.x optimizations

2002-12-01 Thread Jason Deraleau
JD Jaguar is using gcc 3.1, does anyone know if that version of gcc supports JD AltiVec specific optimizations? If so, are Fink packages built for these JD G4-only extensions? The reason why I'm asking is because I've been playing JD with Gentoo Linux (gentoo.org), which uses a system somewhat

I think we still need to deal with our 'cups' package. We should just use Apple's libraries and binaries, but provide the headers ourselves. (I think there is a package in experimental/rangerrick/). If no one has any objections, I can put the package in unstable. I've been using

None of these should be replaced. Not only are the versions in Fink in most cases newer, but having them as seperate packages also allows us to provide fixes etc. at all times. OTOH there is nothing to be gained by providing place holders for these, with the possible exception of the bind8
