[Fink-devel] revised Descriptions

[David R. Morrison]

Starting with fink-0.9.9, users who need to make a choice between different
packages to satisfy a dependency are given not only the names of the packages,
but also the "Description" field.

With this in mind, I have revised the Descriptions of several dozen packages
which appear in such choices.  I attempted to make clear what the differences
were, and I tried for some rough consistency in how those differences were
described.  In order to keep within the 60-character limit, I was forced
to abbreviate sometimes, occasionally quite drastically.  However, the "worst"
abbreviations are in packages that have a partner where the abbreviation was
not so drastic, and users should see both of those together.

I committed all of these revisions to CVS, in both stable and unstable
trees, but maintainers are of course free to make further revisions as they
wish.  Please do keep in mind the way in which this Description field
will be presented to users as they are making choices.

I was able to get it to work my copying the lt* stuff in the fink dir 
and removing the version number inside them(why would it care about the 
libtool version?). i have a question about the format of splitoffs. I 
want to build the client lib as the main package, but there is a perl 
interface to the lib, as well as a folder of c and a folder of expat 
examples. I was thinking of makeing them seperate packages, or maybe a 
perl and an examples package. I saw that i could include dirs with the 
Files: field, but how can I make them be installed into a specific 
location? like the perl files (MusicBrainzClient.pm  findalbum.pl  
findartist.pl  findtrack.pl  submit.pl) in the correct places, and the 
examples under the doc folder?

[chris@dale:/sw/src/musicbrainz-1.1.0$]> ls ex*
examples:
Makefile.am  cdlookup.c   findartist.c  gettrm.c   win32/
Makefile.in  cmd.cpp  getalbum.clyric_example.cpp
c_example.c  cpp_example.cpp  gettrack.csubmittrm.c

expat:
MPL-1.1.txt  Makefile.am  Makefile.in  xmlparse/  xmltok/

[Fink-devel] libtool fun

[Chris Zubrzycki]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

does anyone know if there is a good guide to libtool and the other auto* 
utilities? i am getting an error building the musicbrainz client. it is 
getting a parse error somehow, and it seems to double-include the same 
lib, so it fails. i would like to learn how to resolve these problems, 
but I do not know where to start.

I have moved these to stable at your request.  If you would like me to
put the source of ispell-italian on Sourceforge, please make it available
at some URL of yours and send me the URL.

[Fink-devel] nget 0.18 - compiler error???

[Thomas Kotzian]

Hello!

I'm the package maintainer of nget 0.16 ... - it's in unstable - when 
upgrading to 0.17 or 0.18 there is a compiler error on MacOSX. - please 
test the attached package. Do you see a change to make it work? The same 
problem ist with 0.17 and 0.18 ... - it works under linux ... but not on 
OSX.

Thanks, ThomasK.

Just to clarify one more thing: when "fink check"/"fink validate" 
complains, it usually means you have a problem that should be fixed. 
But if it does *not* complaint, then this doesn't have to mean your 
package is perfect! There are various problems that they don't catch 
currently, so don't relay on them alone, but also manually verify 
that you .deb files install into the correct place, and that they 
have actually all the files. Sometimes it's also a good idea to 
eyeball the output of the install phase of the package you are 
building, to verify it really installs into 
/sw/src/root-PACKAGE-VERSION-REV/ and not directly into /sw etc.

It was a typo for foo.deb .

You can run "fink validate" on a .deb file and it will warn you about things
that have been placed in non-policy-compliant locations.
