[Fink-devel] Essential packages and shared libraries

2002-03-21 Thread David R. Morrison
Hi all. I've noticed that several of our essential packages build shared libraries (for example, bzip2 and ncurses). This presents a bit of a quandry for the shared libraries policy. If we impose the shared libraries policy on these packages, they'll be split into main and -shlibs. Should

[Fink-devel] Scripts

2002-03-21 Thread Max Horn
Currently, all scripts in .info files (e.g. InstallScript, CompileScript, etc.) are executed by the user's shell! This is not good of course, as it means we get different results if the user uses tcsh vs bash vs zsh vs whatever. In fact so far I believe we'd always use /bin/sh, but we

Oh wait, I can answer my own question by looking at the scripts in /sw/are/lib/dpkg/info. They are indeed /bin/sh and it looks like it was fink that make them thay way. So for consistency, I agree. By the way, there is an old comment of chrisp's in the docs which hints that he was planning to

xfree86 4.2 works stable for me, too. the only bug/oddity i recognized was with the cinerama setup: usually i unplug my 18 LCD ;-) from my tibook after going to sleep mode (that is, closing the lid); when waking it up, some xfree86 application windows which were on the second screen before

[Fink-devel] ANN: Fink Package Manager 0.9.9 released

2002-03-21 Thread Max Horn
A new version of the Fink package manager, 0.9.9, has just been release. It's currently in the unstable tree, however, we hope that we will get a lot of feedback on it quickly so that it can be moved to stable soon. For this reason we would like to urge everybody using Fink's unstable-CVS to

[Fink-devel] putting splitoffs into unstable

2002-03-21 Thread David R. Morrison
Folks, Max has released fink 0.9.9 which contains the code that knows about splitoffs. You can put your splitoff packages into the unstable tree, but I would suggest adding BuildDepends: fink (= 0.9.9) to any such package. This will force the user to update fink first and so the code will
