I'm responsible for the port of Mutella to MacOS X, and will be taking over as package maintainer for some time while Max, who's done much of the work up to now, takes a breather from the project. Just to clarify, that's not me he's talking about here I assume (I'd know, right? =) It runs, it's stable, and it's fast. It support 0.6, and I'm going to add GGEP and Ultrapeers for the next version, in all likelihood. It doesn't do swarming, but it will make parallel connections to anyone who offers and take from the fastest, continually checking to see if faster providers come online. OK, I assume somebody familiar with your program knows what you are talking here (I understand no word, but oh well) =). It's a nice client. And I'd like to see it more widely used. That means getting it added to fink. It's got a single dependency on libreadline, and it's got a working build system (automake 1.5, autoconf 2.13, needs to have /usr/libexec/config.* copied to the local directory first). I need someone to help in getting a package together, and if anyone has time, maybe to help with testing and report feedback, or by writing a man page. Is there anyone out there who might be willing to provide packaging? I think there could be many people who'd look into this. If you simply provided an URL to the source code of the relase version here, then whoever is interested in it can just start on it.

An example for this can be found in the libtiff package in the shared-libraries CVS module. OK, fixed in CVS to issue correct warnings, and not issue irritating wrong warnings anymore. Also, when an error occurs, it once more outputs the affected file(name). Now the only thing left to do before we can make a new Fink package manager release is for me to fix up the build dependencies for splitoffs (as I mentioned before). This is really necessary, as I just noticed the hard way: I have glib2-shlibs installed but not glib2. When I try to build atk1, it fails, since glib2 is installed. Now you say: Wait wait, atk1 build-depends on glib2, it should automatically install glib2 first. Yup, it should, but doesn't... What happens is this: Fink detects that atk1 depends on atk1-shlibs, so it build atk1-shlibs first (completly correct). But that does *not* BuildDepend on glib2 (and BuildDepends don't make any sense for splitoffs either). What I must do is to modify PkgVersion so that the BuildDepends of a splitoff always generate the Depends BuildDepends of the parent package, but minus the parent package and all its splitoffs so I have to filter those out. Sigh.

[Fink-devel] Last Splitoff changes in CVS - please test now!
OK, I just put the (hopefully) last part of the splitoff change into CVS: build dependencies of splitoffs and their parents are now always properly computed (previously, this was not at all correct, one just didn't notice it in many cases). In addition, I removed the annoying debug message Splitoff found, and fixed the nested heredoc support. I would like all of you to go ahead and use the latest CVS. Test it with splitoffs, if you can, but also test it with normal packages. Do anything you can think of. Make it's life hard. Try to break it =). If you can, please also test Peter's changes to fink list and fink apropos (enter fink list --help or fink apropos --help to see what I mean =). We should update the man page to mention those extensions, too, BTW. Please report any problems you have ASAP. If you did a lot of testing with this version, please report that to me as well. I want to make a new package manager release as soon as possible, possibly as early as monday. Once that has been done, we can start to convert unstable CVS to use splitoffs. Then, after some more time (another week maybe), we can put the new package manager into stable CVS, too, and start using splitoffs there as well. Then, in say two (or better three? what do you think?) weeks from now, I'd like to aim for a full Fink release, dubbed 0.4.0. I figure this step is justified, as we added substantial changes to the package manager, and the package DB has grown a lot since the last release, too.

[Fink-devel] new problem with splitoff build dependencies
I was updating audiofile (which I previously had installed in an older, non-splitoff, but shlibs enabled version. That's what happend: % fink update libjpeg ... ln -sf /sw/fink/dists/local/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/libjpeg-bin_6b-5_darwin-powerpc.deb /sw/fink/debs/ rm -rf /sw/src/root-libjpeg-bin-6b-5 rm -rf /sw/src/root-libjpeg-6b-5 dpkg -i /sw/fink/dists/local/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/libjpeg_6b-5_darwin-powerpc.deb (Reading database ... 88534 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace libjpeg 6b-4 (using .../libjpeg_6b-5_darwin-powerpc.deb) ... Unpacking replacement libjpeg ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libjpeg: libjpeg depends on libjpeg-shlibs (= 6b-5); however: Version of libjpeg-shlibs on system is 6b-3. dpkg: error processing libjpeg (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: libjpeg ### dpkg failed, exit code 1 Failed: can't install package libjpeg-6b-5 Running fink update libjpeg again then works. So, what happens? It's quite simple in fact. Fink detects that the newest libjpeg package hasn't been built yet, hence it decides to build it. For that, it asks for the build depends. But those do *not* contains any splitoffs of the master, to get around another issue (that's one of the things I changed in my last checking). So, it proceeds to build everything fine. But then it gets to the installation phase, and here it fails, since the splitoff libjpeg-shlibs dependency isn't fulfilled (it would have been if it was in the build deps list, but then we would have had a circular dependency...) Anyway, I think I know to fix it, this time hopefully for real. Stay tuned =) Max -- --- Max Horn Software Developer email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] phone: (+49) 6151-494890 ___ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
Re: [Fink-devel] Last Splitoff changes in CVS - please test now!
snip Just out of interest, Max, what's the easiest way to use the split-off packages when using 'fink selfupdate-cvs'? As far as I know, the split-offs module is not checked out when using this, so should someone wishing to try out the split-off packages check the module out manually and 'inject' it? (If there's such a script.) Thanks! ___ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
