[Fink-devel] X11 Documentation
I've slowly started making some changes in the X11 docs. As of right now all that I've changed is the current stable version to install from fink, and added Apple X11 Beta 2 info. The next issue, then, is section 3.3: Official Binaries. I'd like to confirm that the proper sequence for Jaguar as of right now is: 1) Install the 4.2.0 XFree86.org binary 2) Apply the 4.2.0-4.2.0.1 patch from XonX 3) Apply the 4.2.0.1-4.2.1.1 patch from XonX Please let me know if I'm missing something: I'd really hate to make a change and have to retract it later. -- Alexander K.

Re: [Fink-devel] X11 Documentation
Thanks, Torrey. I had debated whether just to wait for 4.3 to come out, but I figured that it wouldn't take too much time to make the changes for right now, and the fact that listed versions were out of sync with what one was supposed to have for 10.2 just didn't sit right with me.

The XFree86.org tarballs are just harder to deal with since they require downloading separately and running a shell script. 2) Apply the 4.2.0-4.2.0.1 patch from XonX 3) Apply the 4.2.0.1-4.2.1.1 patch from XonX This is correct as of today. Very shortly this will change to just installing XFree86 4.3.0 which will be available from XonX and XFree86.Org as before. --Torrey --- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: FREE SSL Guide from Thawte are you planning your Web Server Security?

Re: [Fink-devel] On dependency engines

Then based on this, I started to develop ideas on how to realize these needs in actual code. I try to present all my ideas and findings in this email. That includes a list of problematic cases the engine needs to handle, as well as fundamental problems, and problems that are also affecting our current system. It'll be a long email, and maybe I should put it on a web page later, too. snip Why dependency deciding is difficult Life would be easy if a dependency would just say install foo, and there was exactly one foo. However, foo may exist in 5 A feature that would be nice to have which Fink currently does not handle dynamically, when deciding on package dependencies the engine would also consider whether to download/install any binary debs when available, and compile the rest which are not available in deb archives. I'll also explain the chroot/fakeroot approach for package building and how it would help us in many many ways (at the cost of more time/disk space, though). This is an obvious question, but does a fakeroot jail mean duplicating files of any required dependencies into a sandbox(jail) during the build phase? So, wouldn't hard links eliminate any additional disk-space penalty? Carsten --- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: FREE SSL Guide from Thawte are you planning your Web Server Security?

[Fink-devel] I want Gimp in English!
My Computer speaks french, and the Gimp software I have just downloaded speaks mainly English. However, there is french as well. I imagine fink can somehow detect that my ibook is in French, so that Gimp shows some cammands in French. But this produces uncertainty: the documentation is in English, and this language mix is confusiong. Is there a way to instruct Gimp to use only English, despite the main languge on my ebook is French? --- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: FREE SSL Guide from Thawte are you planning your Web Server Security?
