Re: [Fink-devel] Shared Libraries Policy, round 2

Hi Peter. I agree that ultimately we need the ability to generate more than two debs from the same package file. (This is actually a bit different from the other issue that has been discussed from time to time, namely several variants of a package (like x/no-x) which would each require a separat

How hard would it be to implement something like this: Type: Multi Packages: %n-docs (= %v-%r), %n-bin (= %v-%r), %n-shlib(= %v-%r), etc Package-script: %n-%v-%r.info #this is a master sh(?) script, which makes all the debs in Packages before removing the directory/going on etc... sorry, I have

OK, folks, let me set some things straight once more: 1) No, this change is not made easier if we move at the same time to a new package format. I tried to explain it several times in the past: any new package format would almost entierly be transparent to the "backend" of fink, and only requ

In addition to what I wrote in my previous mail: why are "insertStatus", "lookupStatus" and "reference" not static? The same for __dlCountList and __dlGetQueue, only that I assume they are meant to provide some sort of undocmented API - and that is IMHO a very bad thing, unless there are very

[Fink-devel] On multi-target packages and how to implement them

2002-02-14 Thread Max Horn
So, the one part is to agree on a package format for all of this. But the other side of the coin of course is that all of this has to be implemented somehow, too (surprising, isn't it? ). Some definitions first: I say a package is "multi target" if multiple binary (deb) packages are generated

There is another aspect of this which has not yet been mentioned. When fink is analyzing dependencies, it (apparently, since I can't read perl) creates a list of existing .info files which it can suggest it will build in order to meet unmet dependencies. These will have to be generated in some n

I like the SplitOff: << Package: %n-shlibs << style. But I have a question about the syntax: will the entries within a "SplitOff" section be allowed to use multi-line format themselves? e.g. SplitOff: << Package: %n-shlibs DescDetail: << The shared libraries for foo have many special

Two more comments for now: 1) InfoDocs also needs to be on the "allowed" list, since we can't control where the .info files will be installed. Similarly, UpdatePod. 2) Although it would be great in principle to somehow have every package with a %n-shlibs splitoff to have a default "Depend

What I think is that instead of all this files business, we ought to simply allow InstallScript in SplitOffs, then all that would be needed is a few different install scripts, and very little extra perl code ___ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECT
