Well, that is a bug indeed, please file it in the bug tracker. Since 
Fink is able to handle different locations, the installer should 
prompt for it.


Well, its a feature request, not a bug. And even if the installer could 
handle different locations, because it installs binaries it will 
require a symlink of /sw to your install location. The path is hard 
coded into many things (like dynamic libraries) at compile time.

 Sure you can think of scenarios where someone might want the X
 libraries installed and not the X server, but these are largely
 artificial.

Erm, what?! I have at least 20 servers, of varios OS's, which have the X11
base clients and X11 shared libraries in stalled, but no X11 server. No X
fonts, font servers, etc. either.

Why would I? I don't even have a monitor on some of them; many are at
various data centers; etc. ssh -X forwards X11 to my workstation.

 As people have pointed out you are only saving 5-10% of
 the size of the distribution by separating out the server and there

For those of us with 10GB HDs, XFree takes some very real disk space! And
don't say that's silly --- it's what my slightly over a year old iBook has.
I have many servers with far less.

For a long time /sw has been an acronym or at least and ailas for a 
Fink install on a Mac system. That is my point and it is never moot, 
since we are indulging in active discussion here and nothing is set in 
stone.

I'm just observing the developer list. I have no suggestion except a 
silly game of names.

The shallowness of /sw directory is pretty handy. It's an island 
well isolated from other critical areas. This is important for two 
reasons: First, it minimizes Fink's interaction with other components. 
Ben Hines was quite right in pointing out that /opt is chosen for 
similar policy. Second, naturalistically, Finches live in islands.

I'm afraid that most Fink users, current or future, get intimidated if 
/sw is deeply embeded in /usr/local/fink. It will be convenient for 
Unix-savvy people, but please bear in mind that not a small portion of 
users that Fink targets are those people who don't have a clear idea of 
how to build softwares for themselves (with xmkmf, ./configure, make, 
make install ...), let alone maintaining their own systems. It's quite 
likely that /usr/local/fink looks quite confusing for those people.

If I had any complaint about /sw, it is just that the directory name 
sounds a bit too plain. I wish if only there were a better, more witty 
name for it!

Why didn' Darwin discover his Finches in islands with much shorter 
names? Having a directory /galapagos looks too anti-Unix-y.

Re: [Fink-devel] Who should Provide X11 ?

2003-01-07 Thread Charles McCathieNevile
Ther are a couple of different possiblities for where we pay...

at the moment we save 4MB on the default install. This is not as trivial as
people make out - my 6GB drive is generally full, and I actively look at
anything over 1MB to see if I can get rid of it. Add to that the time to
download (in Australia this is still surprisingly slow over phone lines,
which is how I do it) and it is clear that it would be nice not to install
this unnecessarily.

On the other hand there are lots of people running fink who are not really
good at understanding how the system works, and who are benefitting most from
the fact that fink decides where to put the things in their directories so
thhey don't end up with their usual mess of a desktop containing multiple
copies of the same software because they are unable to manage it properly.
For these people the fact that they install a apckage and then it doesn't run
is a pain.

I think the best solution is to have the dependency on x11-server as a
possibility, and make that the default for packages currently dependent on
x11. After that it would be helpful for the expert few if maintainers
provided a cut-down version of their package that didn't require the server,
allowing people to easily save the 4MB.

In practice I think the people who don't need the server tend to be people
who could happily remove it by hand, whereas the people who do need it are
often (in my experience 7 of 9) people who have no idea what to do when they
haven't got the server. Meking the system easy for beginners and sufficiently
flexible to support the needs of experts is far better than having something
that only works for experts. This is a rationale for packaging in the first
place - the time it saves expert users is nothing compared to the
productivity it provides for novices.

just my 2 bits...

I agree, saving 4 megs out of 45 isn't really worth the amount of 
questions we get on the subject.

No matter how many FAQ entries and big nasty warnings we could add, the 
truth is that they would be a band-aid on the fact that having them 
split is confusing, and gains very little.

For every person that asks about some xfree86-related thing on the 
list, there's 4 or 5 that you don't see asking on the IRC channel.  
It's really a rather goofy usability issue that is easily solved.

To reiterate the point that both Martin and I made earlier (to avoid

mentioned today on the OroborOSX list, too:  OroborOSX requires you to
have _all_  of XFree86.  Its private XDarwin is just a replacement for

A major point of Darwin's work was that many different species can all

This is somewhat incorrect. Galapagos is not a single island, but a 
collection of small islands, I guess nearly ten (but I'm afraid I'm 
wrong. I couldn't get a quick answer by googling). And each island is 
off-contact from the other. For each island, one or two species of 
finches evolved through their interaction with environment. This 
process is called speciation. Darwin was intrigued, or rather 
encouranged, by this phenomenon.

Another fact, or observation, that seemed intrigued Darwin is 
apparently low selectional pressure in the islands, and he attributed 
this to the fact that no real predetor-type species have invaded there 
thanks to their isolation from the outer world, which is historically 
accidental.

There is another option, we could leave the packages as is, implement "reccomends" support in fink, and have xfree86-base reccomend rootless. Newbies would (hopefully :) choose the default. It would look like:


Package xfree86-base reccomends these additional packages: 
xfree86-rootless
Install them now? (Y/n)

However this doesn't help apt-get and such, which don't prompt you for reccomends (dselect sort-of does, but the GUI is so horribly bad, newbies might not even notice :)

So on second thought i think we should go to the one package method.

We probably should just wait till 4.3 to do it, at which time we can also get rid of the -threaded packages, since 4.3 is threaded already.

Re: [Fink-devel] X11: rootless v. base

2003-01-07 Thread Max Horn
My take on this is as follows:


As Torrey pointed out, the seperation of the X11 package is largely 
historical. In fact, both Jeff and I in the past attempted to merge 
it back into one package. However, this is not something as trivial 
as you might think - it caused various update  transition problems. 
So if we decided to do that merge, please please, *first* test it out 
before anybody puts packages for this into unstable!


As to which package should provide X11, or whether to have seperate 
-base / -rootless packages: I personally don't have a strong opinion 
now, I need to think a bit more about it. But it would seem that 
indeed nowadays we should consider merging the packages back into 
one, if that is possible w/o high techincal difficulties. I 
understand that argument that some people might not want the server 
part to save 4 MB. However, compared to the problems this causes for 
many other people, I would think we should (for now) choose to 
sacrifice that rather small advantage for the sake of the greater 
good.


On the long run, when it comes to disk space and efficency, we should 
maybe now start thinking about another thing: many (most? all?) fink 
packages include debug information and are compiled with the -g 
option. While this eases debugging, it adds a lot of disk space 
overhead. Depending on the binary, stripping them reduces the factor 
of binaries dramatically. I am talking about factor 2-10 ! E.g. 
astrip goes from 8 MB to 800 KB...

Alas, that is a different discussion :-)


Cheers,

Max

[Fink-devel] MD5 fields now semi-required

2003-01-07 Thread Max Horn
I just modified the package validator (in CVS) to generate a warning 
for any missing MD5 field. Everybody should go through their packages 
and add MD5 fields (me, too, I hope I will find the time for that 
soon).

In the meantime, there are about 120 package validation 
warnings/errors in unstable. Would be nice if people could check 
those (see the attachment to this mail). A big bunch of those is due 
to koffice-i18n packages not using %v :-)



Don't forget, if you make any changes in unstable, make sure to check 
if they have to be synced to stable, too.



Cheers,

Max

/usr/local/fink falls into about the same category as /usr/local. In 
fact, I think it combines that bad parts of /usr/local with any 
drawbacks /sw has... :-)

I agree. Anyway, as has been said, /sw means Fink. I think it would be 
rather painful to change it now -- newbies would be confused by people 
talking about /sw and others talking about /opt (or whatever), docs 
would be in a state of flux for a while... it would be painful.

Perhaps the If you have a better suggestion, post it to the fink-devel

Re: [Fink-devel] MD5 fields now semi-required

2003-01-07 Thread Patrick Naef
A few weeks ago I mentioned on fink-devel that I would like to make an effort
and add Homepage and Source-MD5 fields to those .info files that lack them.


I would like to announce that I am almost done with my work. Basically I just
need to make a couple of final checks and then I would be ready to deliver the
modified .info files to the package submission tracker.

So, before anybody jumps at Max' suggestion, please be patient another day -
tomorrow Wednesday evening I will give you all the md5's that you wish :-)

Or perhaps, like NetBSDs use usr/pkg we can use /usr/fink

Anyway, usr/local/fink is definitely *not* a good idea :
/sw
/usr/local
/usr/pkg
/opt
are all shadow trees

While /usr/local/fink would be a tree within a tree. A mess.

I vote for /usr/fink, if one day the installer gives the user a choice.

Re: [Fink-devel] X11: rootless v. base

2003-01-07 Thread pluto5000
i suppose that it is better to be able to have incrimental upgrades w/ 
separate packages. but xfree86-rootless always depends on the latest 
xfree86-base. so we still upgrade the whole, just it takes more steps. 
I'd like to see many more parts/sections of the xfree86 packages. I'd b

I think you had a valid concern:  back in the 10.1 days we had
system-xfree86 and system-xtools because Xtools wasn't exactly the same
as XFree86.  Fortunately, Apple didn't do anything odd to the X11 core.

[Fink-devel] I'm back! (Almost)

2003-01-07 Thread Michel Alexandre Salim
Greetings Fink packagers,

It's been 9 months since I left Fink after selling my iBook (terrible
video encoding performance without G4), but after today's Macworld Expo,
I just placed my order for the new 12 PBook!

Fink has advanced quite a bit since I left - KDE is finally ported, and
Evolution etc. - wow! Thanks to Sylvain for taking over SWI Prolog too.

Damn.. it's good to be back. Another 2-4 weeks until the new machine
arrives... Has anything much changed on the technical/admin front?

Greetings all and a joyful New Year,

CONSERVE GRAVITY

Follow these simple suggestions:

(1)  Walk with a light step.  Carry helium balloons if possible.
(2)  Use tape, magnets, or glue instead of paperweights.
(3)  Give up skiing and skydiving for more horizontal sports like curling.
(4)  Avoid showers .. take baths instead.

[Fink-devel] fink xfree86 and Apple X11

2003-01-07 Thread Jeff Whitaker

Apple's X11 will work with fink xfree86-4.2.1.1 on 10.2.3.  I tested this
by installing xfree86-base, xfree86-rootless (and shlibs), then copying
over /Applications/X11.app, /usr/X11R6/bin/Xquartz,
/usr/X11R6/bin/quartz-wm and /usr/X11R6/lib/libapplexp.1.0.dylib from an
Apple X11 installation.  Double click on the X11 icon in /Applications,
and voila, quartz-wm fires up.  Not as fast as running the full Apple
installation though, but I suspect once xfree86 4.3 is released there
won't be a noticeable difference.  Would be nice if someone would package
up just those files from Apple's X11 , as alternative to Oroborus
X.

Figured it out. This is caused by the ccp4 pacakge. It sets something 
bad in its profile.d scripts. Not sure what, exactly, it would be good 
if the maintainer could figure out what variable breaks fink.

No. I'm using the Smoothstripes Square theme and all the Apple X11

Re: [Fink-devel] Odd number of elements in hash assignment warnings

2003-01-07 Thread wgscott
Hi:

First of all, I apologize for this.  I had noticed this nonfatal error 
also since the 10.2.3 upgrade but had no idea that I was the cause of 
it.  It was not happening, at least to me, in 10.2.2 and below.

The quick fix is to remove the file %p/etc/profile.d/ccp4.sh   where %p 
:== /sw or your equivalent.

This file has a one line command in it to run another script, 
distributed by ccp4, that sets up the environment in bash and sh.

The line in mine is

. /sw/share/xtal/ccp4-4.2.2/include/ccp4.setup-sh

This seems to work fine interactively, so I have been unable to figure 
out what the problem is and will have to inquire upstream.  Meanwhile 
my proposed fix is to delete the above file by overwriting it with a 
blank dummy file, unless someone has a better idea.

For anyone who has installed this, you have probably noticed the 
installation takes about 3 hours, so doing a whole reinstall to delete 
that one file isn't an attractive option.

Again, I apologize for this.

Bill Scott

Hi folks,

Not sure if this is the right avenue to take, but I am out of ideas.  I 
have read the docs and done the initial fink installs AFTER installing 
the new Apple branded X11.  Now fink will not allow the installation of 
the above packages.  That's a bit of a pickle as a lot of the things I 
would like to try insist on installing this package before anything 
else!

Below is a paste of the console session for me.

[Fink-devel] FIX for a bug I created: CCP4 OS X Users: I may have screwed up your fink installation -- here's the fix

2003-01-07 Thread wgscott
Hi folks:

I managed to create a bug in some people's fink installations.  This will occur only if you installed ccp4, so fortunately that is a small user community.  However, the immediate fix is

sudo rm /sw/etc/profile.d/ccp4.sh


Is there a way for fink to just do this automatically during a self-update or something?


Meanwhile, I just sent the following message to the fink users list:

Subject: CCP4 OS X Users:  I may have screwed up your fink installation -- here's the fix

Hi Folks:

I am afraid I may have corrupted your fink installation if you used my fink-based ccp4 install script.   As usual, I was trying to be clever without the IQ to back it up. 

Fortunately the fix trivial:

sudo rm /sw/etc/profile.d/ccp4.sh

This means you'll have to set things up the old fashioned way if you want to run ccp4 in bash user shell in OS X (why you would want to is beyond me, but ...).

Anyway, I am really sorry for any problems this may have created for anyone.  

If you have been getting fink warnings of the form

Odd number of elements in hash assignment at /sw/lib/perl5/Fink/PkgVersion.pm line 1730.
Use of uninitialized value in list assignment at /sw/lib/perl5/Fink/PkgVersion.pm line 1730.

this is the source of the problem.  

(This is almost as embarrassing as the time I flooded the third floor of the LMB with about 5" of water.)

Again, sorry.

This was done in cooperation with the XFree86 project.  The xonx 
project has, as far as I know, long-since been folded back into 
XFree86 and Torrey Lyons is an XFree86 project developer.

As far as what's this? is concerned, I suggest you read the README 
provided in the distribution - it covers everything which was added.  
The fink-installed packages should also work just fine.

Is this a parallel effort to that of the guys over at mrcla.com? Or 
is Apple
attempting to compete with the xonx project?

Should I install this (if the link ever becomes active) in lieu of
XDarwin.app? Will my fink-installed packages work in Apple's X11?

This is all too bizarre. Didn't see this coming AT ALL!

[Fink-devel] binary available for new system-xfree86

2003-01-07 Thread David R. Morrison
The newest version of system-xfree86, required for use with Apple's X11,
is now available in binary as well as source form.

Binary users should run sudo apt-get update prior to following the
instructions on Fink's website.  Source users should run fink selfupdate-cvs
prior to following the instructions.

The user install download link at 
http://www.apple.com/macosx/x11/download/ is broken currently. The SDK 
posted there won't help anyone, its just libraries and headers.

For those who want to try it out later, when the download works.

dpkg -r --force-depends xfree86-base
dpkg -r --force-depends xfree86-base-shlibs
install the SDK from apple - http://www.apple.com/macosx/x11/

fink install system-xfree86

Hopefully it'll work, dont have the full installer from apple yet.

Perhaps this is the solution to the entire Xfree Rootless debate. If
Apple were to start shipping this by Default, or FINK were to officially
recommend Apple's solution for a full installation of X11, and just use
it's internal version for people who don't need the extra fluff.
 
I'm surprised this wasn't mentioned at the keynote.

The user install download link at 
http://www.apple.com/macosx/x11/download/ is broken currently. The SDK 
posted there won't help anyone, its just libraries and headers.

For those who want to try it out later, when the download works.

dpkg -r --force-depends xfree86-base
dpkg -r --force-depends xfree86-base-shlibs
install the SDK from apple - http://www.apple.com/macosx/x11/  
install the user install from apple - 
http://www.apple.com/macosx/x11/download/  
fink install system-xfree86

Hopefully it'll work, dont have the full installer from apple yet.

Worked great for me.  Thank, Ben.

[Fink-devel] New Apple's X11

2003-01-07 Thread Xavier HUMBERT
Apple is about to relase a X11 environment for Jaguar. Seems promising,
with tight integration within Aqua. http://www.apple.com/macosx/x11/

I think a placeholder package would be convenient. Has someone began
to do that ? If not, I'll try to do it.

You're about 10 posts behind, Xavier.  :-)

Let me take this opportunity to mention one little complication I found 
a worked around: Apple's .pkg install doesn't overwrite your existing 
.xinitrc (a good thing, I think) so you need to add exec quartz-wm 
manually to get their WM.

[Fink-devel] x11, another tale

2003-01-07 Thread Randal L. Schwartz

And now to through Yet Another Monkey Wrench In, we
have...

http://www.apple.com/macosx/x11/

so we need a dummy package that says I have Apple's X11 Server
installed.

Unless that's already completely and accurately described by something
else on the list.
