Recently I noticed that I was getting warnings from selfupdate. I have switched over to the rsync method, and these problems seem specific to it. In particular, certain .patch and .info files do not exist and cause the rsync to experience errors. Here is a sample excerpt from fink selfupdate:
-----BEGIN----- Updating unstable/main su moculus -c "rsync -az --delete-after -q 'rsync://master.us.finkmirrors.net/finkinfo/10.3/unstable/main/finkinfo' '/sw/fink/10.3/unstable/main/'" cp: finkinfo/sci/cernlib.info/rsrc: No such file or directory fopen: No such file or directory stat finkinfo/sci/cernlib.info : No such file or directory cp: finkinfo/x11/eterm.patch/rsrc: No such file or directory stat finkinfo/x11/eterm.patch : No such file or directory -----END----- At first I assumed that the problem might be that these particular files had resource forks (/rsrc) which were screwing up the rsync (some versions aren't hfs+ aware). However, if I touch the file in question (cernlib.info, for instance), I stop getting an error from rsync. However, the file is still empty (so rsync isn't putting any new data into the file). Has anyone else noticed problems like this? I am currently having trouble compiling imlib2-- imlib2.patch was one of those files that rsync complained about. After touching the patch, I don't get a warning from selfupdate, and it claims to patch properly during the build, but the build later fails. -- Erik ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
