hi, i realised that i have several libraries with version no 0.0.0 in /sw/lib, e.g. libscrollkeeper.0.0.0.dylib rebuild doesn't help. is that due to an error in the respective packages, or can it be caused by some misconfiguration on my computer? cheers, kilian ___ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm ___ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
[Fink-devel] a2ps-4.12-4 problem printing tex file
hi, a2ps does not work with tex file. if i execute % a2ps test.tex the printer just prints garbage. in fact, by sending the output into a file % a2ps test.tex -o testfile [test.tex (tex, delegated to texi2dvi): 1 page on 1 sheet] [Total: 2 pages on 1 sheet] saved into the file `testfile' it turns out that the output has dvi format instead of ps format: % file testfile testfile: TeX DVI file (TeX output 2002.04.29:0050) i am not sure if this is a bug in a2ps or in texi2dvi since i don't know which program should handle the conversion dvi-ps. i have the latest version of a2ps, texinfo, and tetex-base (containing dvips) installed: tetex-base 1.0-9 a2ps 4.12-4 texinfo4.1-2 best, kilian ___ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
[Fink-devel] build dependencies
hi, how should fink handle the following problem: some packages link against certain libraries in case they are found during build time. for example python links against libpoll in case libpoll is installed. the resulting binary does not depend on the library and it probably wouldn't work properly on a system without that library. should one add all these libraries that are used in case they are present at build time as an dependency? cheers, kilian ___ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
[Fink-devel] package listings
hi all, sometimes it would be very useful if one would be able to find out which files are contained in a specific fink package. if the package is installed, or if you at least have the .deb file, you can just use dpkg to find out which files belong to that package. but if you don't have the .deb file, or if you have created a .deb file and you want to know if it complete, there is no way of finding out. what do you like the idea that every package maintainer provides for each package a list of files which are supposed to be included in the package. this would be a text file in addition to the .info file. it could be easily created after the .deb file has been created and would be very useful - especially but not only for debugging. for the binary release, one could also produce a zipped text file containing all files of the release. this would also help you, for example, if some header file is missing and you would like to find out if it is contained in any fink package. what do you think? cheers, kilian ___ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
[Fink-devel] new zope package
hi, i just checked in a package for the zope web application server. maybe, there is anybody on this list using zope who wants to give it a try... it includes a start/stop script 'zopectl' adapted from debian. kilian ___ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
Re: [Fink-devel] holding back package upgrade (was: Calling mozilla)
hi, Just as a test case, I tried it on SDL.. chose sdl 1.2.3, and hit =. (hold). It showed held in dselect. Then did a fink update-all, and sdl 1.2.4 downloaded, and... dpkg installed it right over 1.2.3. I had assumed it would build the deb and then stop. i used to use the feature under debian and i think the problem is the following: putting a package on hold prevents it to be upgraded when you do an apt-get upgrade but it will still be upgraded if you do expicitely apt-get install packagename anyway, you really need something in fink instead of dpkg if you want prevent fink from recompiling the package. cheers, kilian ___ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
[Fink-devel] uids in passwd package
hi, i asked this already, but it was hidden in a longer message... is there a certain procedure for assignin uids for fink-specific users? or can i just pick an unused uid in the range 250-299 and add it to the passwd package? speciffically, i would like to have the user 'zope' for a package i am building. kilian ___ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
Re: [Fink-devel] uids in passwd package
hi, On Mon, Apr 15, 2002 at 06:50:32PM +0100, Finlay Dobbie wrote: Anyway, I was also thinking about revamping how to deal with extra users in Fink... Users shouldn't have to agree to have all the users required by any Fink package when they only want to use one of them, and it shouldn't really require a modification in the passwd package every time a package maintainer wants to add one. Thoughts on how we could implement this? what about making a directory /sw/etc/passwd-fink.d ? every package requiring an own user can put a file there with just one line containing the password information. after installation the script of the passwd package can add all users. someone would have to keep track of the uids in use, of course. cheers, kilian ___ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel

I'd suggest something to way Daemonic stuff is handled. But how do we keep track of user ids? if we would add a field like PasswdUID: 456 to the .info file, than a package maintainer who needs a new uid could do a grep -ri PasswdUID /sw/dists fink could/should als check this whenever it reads the package list. kilian ___ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
[Fink-devel] zope-2.5.0
hi, i was going to package zope-2.5.0 (http://www.zope.com) and have some questions: - it depends on python-2.1.2, which is older than the most stable version of python. shall i also make a system-zope package to enable people to install a third party binary for zope (which is available)? i remember from this list that we only want system-foo packages under certain conditions. does zope qualify? - it depends on the --with-threads option for python-2.1.2. shall i patch the corresponding .info file, or should i rather make a new python-threads package? - it would need a low permission user to run the server. can i use the next available uid (259) and patch the passwd package accordingly? - has anybody installed zope, maybe using the binaries, and wants to comment? any comments welcome, since i am quite new to python/zope... cheers, kilian ___ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
