[Fink-beginners] [OT Unix question]: How to create dir3/ being the difference of dir1/ and dir2/
Hello, this question is a bit off topic, but because the directories involved may have true Macintosh files I'll dare to ask anyway: I want to automagically compare two directories dir1 and dir2 and have a dir3 created which has the differing files and folders. I guess that using tools like diff or hfspax this *should be easy*, but I have not found a solution. Would someone please help?

[Fink-beginners] Visible directories
Hi, from the answer to the question Q5.16 of the Fink FAQ http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-fink.php#invisible-sw one could use the command sudo /Developer/Tools/SetFile -a V /sw to make the directory /sw invisible to the Finder. I would like to do the converse, say make the standard system folder /usr (or any one else actually hidden) permanently visible to the Finder. I tried unsuccesfully the command sudo /Developer/Tools/SetFile -a v /usr(see man SetFile). Does anyone know how to do this?

[Fink-beginners] updates panther problems- add'l
In hopes that my experiences might ease the road for others... Fink user since 10.1, OS 10.2.8 was installed, working Fink/Xfree86/Gnome2/unstable tree Upgrade to OS 10.3.2 (successful) Ran fink selfupdate (successful) but had difficulty updating the huge number of outdated files fink reported. I have been using both Fink Commander and running fink from the terminal (though not simultaneously). Xfree86 files updated successfully but most gnome files would not. I did a sudo mv usr/local usr/local.mvd and found that many more files would update. However, many gnome-related files would not. I have now discovered that I was victim of the freetype problems described in many previous posts (which I had ignored, since everything was working well under 10.2.8). I removed all the freetype and freetype2 (yes, I had both w/hinting enabled), and am now in the process of completing the updates. Once again, thanks to the Fink crew( Martin, Alex, et. al.) - it was their archived Fink posts that made it work! Stan --- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.

[Fink-beginners] Fink Selfupdate after upgrading to 10.3
Title: Fink Selfupdate after upgrading to 10.3 I just upgraded from OS 10.2.8 to OS 10.3 including Apples X11SDK. After the upgrade, my previous fink installation appeared to have survived. I then ran /sw/lib/fink/postinstall.pl followed by fink selfupdate using cvs. Everything seems to have gone ok, until I received the following error: (Reading database ... 12589 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace fink 0.13.2-1 (using .../fink_0.16.2-1_darwin-powerpc.deb) ... Unpacking replacement fink ... Setting up fink (0.16.2-1) ...

[Fink-beginners] XFree 86 question
I have installed the X11 package that came with my G4 powerbook running the latest OS X - version 10.3. I then tried to install xemacs using Fink. everything goes just fine until an error message appears and tells me that I already have XFree86 installed - and that I should either uninstall it, and reinstall the Fink version or install another place holder xfree86 package. Are the fink packages not compatible with the X11 distro from Apple? Thanks -- J.

[Fink-beginners] updates panther problems- add'l
In hopes that my experiences might ease the road for others... Fink user since 10.1, OS 10.2.8 was installed, working Fink/Xfree86/Gnome2/unstable tree Upgrade to OS 10.3.2 (successful) Ran fink selfupdate (successful) but had difficulty updating the huge number of outdated files fink reported. I have been using both Fink Commander and running fink from the terminal (though not simultaneously). Xfree86 files updated successfully but most gnome files would not. I did a sudo mv usr/local usr/local.mvd and found that many more files would update. However, many gnome-related files would not. I have now discovered that I was victim of the freetype problems described in many previous posts (which I had ignored, since everything was working well under 10.2.8). I removed all the freetype and freetype2 (yes, I had both w/hinting enabled), and am now in the process of completing the updates. Once again, thanks to the Fink crew( Martin, Alex, et. al.) - it was their archived Fink posts that made it work! Stan --- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.

Re: [Fink-beginners] Fink Selfupdate after upgrading to 10.3
AKH Can you do fink update fink-mirrors by itself? This worked and solved the 'fink selfupdate' problem. I updated fink, but 'fink update-all' still crashed. This was because I still had some Xfree86 packages installed. I did a forced remove and I have now been able to successfully execute 'fink update-all'. Thanks Alexander. I also recommend the following website which has some very useful tips http://homepage.mac.com/sao1/fink/finpan.html Brian In the fink.conf file, there is a Mirror-gnu site listed... # Fink configuration, initially created by bootstrap.pl Basepath: /sw RootMethod: sudo Trees: local/main stable/main stable/crypto local/bootstrap Distribution: 10.3 Mirror-cpan: ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/ Mirror-ctan: ftp://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/ Mirror-debian: ftp.debian.org Mirror-gimp: ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub Mirror-gnome: ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/ Mirror-gnu: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu Mirror-kde: ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/ Mirror-master: http://distfiles.opendarwin.org/ Mirror-sourceforge: http://west.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ MirrorContinent: nam MirrorCountry: nam-us MirrorOrder: MasterFirst ProxyPassiveFTP: true Verbose: 0 SelfUpdateMethod: cvs Any suggestions?

If fink-virtual-pkgs doesn't give you system-xfree86 from the User package, then there's no need even to try installing the SDK. The problem is apparently the Apple installer. You may need to remove all of /usr/X11R6 (maybe /etc/X11, too?) and try install the User Package again. Then check if fink-virtual-pkgs shows system-xfree86. If it does, then go ahead and do the SDK.
