Fink Developer community: The results of my latest buildworld run are now complete and I've uploaded the results here:
http://www.snaggledworks.com/fink/fink-build-forever/2010-06-29/out/report.html This run was based on the 10.5/i386/unstable tree, with a cvs checkout from Mon June 28, using Fink version 0.29.12. Neither maintainer mode nor --build-as-nobody were used. A quick word on the results output: the filters used to analyse the build logs have a non-zero false positive rate (and a few terminal failures only get marked as warnings). So there are a few packages that built OK, but are still listed as having failed. As packages failed and were fixed, many of them were updated in CVS and put back into the queue to be tested. Not all updated packages were able to get this treatment however, and no new packages that were added into the unstable tree CVS during the 2+ weeks that the build took were added into the queue, as this would have complicated matters greatly on my end. Of the approximately 6500+ packages that the unstable tree has, 5100+ built successfully. The most serious problem encountered was with the different providers of tex that are available. Using the unstable and stable trees as is, texlive-base and ptex-base don't exchange happily with each other and also fight over provides (the subject of a recent thread on this list), so I copied all the ptex and texlive packages over to stable to work around this issue for the run. While this fixed the immediate problem, it led to several others, as exemplified in the following logs: http://www.snaggledworks.com/fink/fink-build-forever/2010-06-29/logs/freefem++.log http://www.snaggledworks.com/fink/fink-build-forever/2010-06-29/logs/movie15.log http://www.snaggledworks.com/fink/fink-build-forever/2010-06-29/logs/asymptote.log http://www.snaggledworks.com/fink/fink-build-forever/2010-06-29/logs/docbook-utils.log The last one if of particular concern for the buildworld, as most of Gnome and KDE indirectly depend on esound, which depends on docbook-utils, and so that failure meant that 800+ packages could not be tested at all. For individual packages, the concern is that something is quite broken with the *tex* installation. An unstable buildworld is a long process, so I will probably not repeat it again for several months unless the tex issue is cleared up.
