Re: [Fink-devel] Mac OS X Server, Fink, and maybe perl.

[Josh]

This poses some interesting problems. While I read the developers list; 
I don't really develop. I do administer ond dual G5 Xserver running 
Panther Server and I installed Fink on it. The macosx-server list, run 
on apple's web site, implied that many people run fink with OSX Server 
and for the most part things seem to work well. I also am running the 
server software on an old iMac (G3 - 400 MHz) or two, I have kicking 
around to see if things break before I put them on the production 
server. According to that list there are many people running Fink on OS 
X Server machines; even powerbooks. What I have no clue about is if 
there are significant differences in the server software or if it is 
just a bunch of Startup procedures and a nice gui interface for 
managing programs that could just as easily run on an OS X machine. I 
do know that the Xcode tools are the same; there is not a different set 
between say Panther and Panther server. I just have no idea if there 
are any differences and no idea how I could really tell.  Any ideas? If 
anyone is a truly formal Apple Developer, i.e. paid for one of the 
Apple Developer Connection packages, then Server should be included in 
the software provided to developers. Of course I don't know that from 
experience; I saw where someone wrote that server was included with 
developers packages on the macosx-server list.

Josh,
To the best of my knowledge, none of the core fink developers are 
running OS X Server. We need your advice about changes or 
modifications that might be needed to help fink work better in that 
environment.

I'm sending this to both the developers and users list, as it is 
really a difficult architecture question. I have been using Fink for 
a long time on OS X, and recently on OS X Server. It seems to work 
well, but I get the feeling a few bits are in different places on the 
server. And also, being on a server, I want to be able to incorporate 
Fink programs for use with other programs.

Is there anything special I need to do for server? Is there a way to 
configure server so that processes find the Fink installed programs 
and libraries as needed? Anybody doing this? Also, though slightly 
off topic, I seem to have similar problems with Perl which makes me 
wonder if OS X Server systems are mapped out differently somehow from 
regular OS X systems.
