Thanks, Martin. This leaves me with a few questions.
- how should people new to fink (or, in my case, not terribly
proficient with it) make use of individual unstable packages?
- what course should we take if packages appear to missing in our
trees? For example, while I do have hdf5-shlibs 1.6.4 installed,
there is no hdf5-shlibs.info file anywhere in the finkinfo tree:
eexmac147:/sw/fink/10.4 hodelas$ find . -name "hdf5*" -print
/stable/main/finkinfo/sci/hdf5.info
/stable/main/finkinfo/sci/hdf5.patch
/unstable/main/finkinfo/sci/hdf5.info
/unstable/main/finkinfo/sci/hdf5.patch
Similarly, while trying to install gnumeric today, I see that the
package requires gnome-keyring-dev, which is listed in the unstable
tree on the fink website
http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/gnome-keyring-dev
but it doesn't appear in my fink tree either:
eexmac147:/sw/fink/10.4 hodelas$ find . -name "gnome-keyring*" -print
/stable/main/finkinfo/gnome/gnome-keyring.info
/stable/main/finkinfo/gnome/old/gnome-keyring.info
/unstable/main/finkinfo/gnome/gnome-keyring.info
Oddly enough,
eexmac147:/sw/fink/10.4 hodelas$ fink list | grep keyring
i gnome-keyring 0.2.1-1004 GNOME Key Ring
gnome-keyring-dev 0.2.1-1004 GNOME Key Ring
i gnome-keyring-shlibs 0.2.1-1004 GNOME Key Ring
eexmac147:/sw/fink/10.4 hodelas$ fink install gnome-keyring-dev
so the package is known to fink, and I was able to install it. The
manager for some reason couldn't sort out the dependency.
