As some of you may have noticed, I just added "BuildDepends: x11-dev" to many packages in the 10.2-gcc3.3 and 10.3 trees. I also added a package xfree86-4.3.99.16-3 to 10.3/unstable.
Why do this? We've had many problems over the past few months with users who didn't install the X11SDK package from apple under 10.3. We partially addressed this by making a virtual package system-xfree86-dev that keeps track of the X11SDK stuff, but so far, that package hasn't really been used in the fink trees. Since that package provides x11-dev, we need to start making things BuildDepend on x11-dev, where appropriate. To do this right, we also need -dev splitoffs for the xfree86 packages themselves. In the case of xfree86-base and friends, I made "placeholder" -dev packages to avoid forcing users to recompile xfree86. This issue is less crucial for xfree 4.2, but at least the -dev packages are present so that we can modify all trees to use x11-dev in a similar fashion. In the case of xfree86 in the 10.3 tree, I created 4.3.99.16-3 and stuck it in "unstable". This is a lower version number than the current unstable, but higher than the current stable. I would be happy if others would help me test this new package. -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
