[Fink-devel] gcc3.3 tree open for business
Dear fink-devel, The code freeze for the 10.2/stable tree is hereby lifted. However, I would like to ask all fink developers to try and keep 10.2-gcc3.3/stable in sync with (or ahead of) 10.2/stable. I hope that the conversion to the new trees will be complete within a few weeks. All fink developers are now invited to help out with the 10.2-gcc3.3 trees. Here's how: In fink 0.13.8 which was released yesterday, GCC 3.1 is being enforced for the first time. To use the revised developer tools and gcc 3.3, (as well as the new trees), you should install fink-0.13.9-beta. To install this, download the source file from the sourceforge release page http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=17203 unpack the tarball, and run ./inject.pl from within the fink-0.13.9-beta directory. (Also, be sure that you have up-to-date developer tools.) The vast majority of stable packages have already been moved from 10.2/stable to 10.2-gcc3.3/stable. I'll discuss some of the exceptions in a followup message to this one. We need help from fink developers both in testing the 10.2-gcc3.3/stable tree, and also in getting 10.2-gcc3.3/unstable into good shape. Changes which you made to 10.2/unstable during the month of September might not have gotten propagated to 10.2-gcc3.3/unstable. So please check your packages which might have been revised recently. Let me remind you of what happens in the new tree. Any package which uses g++ or c++ is potentially affected by the ABI change in gcc between 3.1 and 3.3. For any such package, you should be sure that the new version of the package is labeled GCC: 3.3 (and that the previous version is labeled GCC: 3.1). You should also check all of the dependencies, making versioned dependencies on any package which is also tagged GCC: 3.3. When a new version is made in this way, the revision number should be increased by 10. We had a similar conversion a year ago, when many packages were tagged GCC: 3.1. In the stable tree, I simply assumed that all such tags were necessary, and I created new versions for all of those packages. However, many of them were probably not necessary -- checking the log files which are generated as the package compiles is one way to see whether g++ or c++ is really being invoked. So in the unstable tree, please feel free to remove a GCC tag when that is appropriate. If you remove it in 10.2-gcc3.3, you should also remove it in 10.2. Note that simply adding or removing a GCC tag does not (in principle) affect the .deb file, so a new revision number is not needed. However, we want different revision numbers when the value of the GCC tag is different. I hope all of the above is clear, and I thank you in advance for your help. -- Dave --- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ___ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel

[Fink-devel] what's missing in 10.2-gcc3.3/stable
Here's a list of what's currently missing from 10.2-gcc3.3/stable, and a discussion of some of the reasons. First, KDE has not yet been moved to 10.2-gcc3.3, but no problems are anticipated. Second, fort77 does not compile under gcc 3.3, probably due to problems with f2c (which probably needs some fixing). As a consequence, a large number of packages in sci cannot be compiled. Third, freetype and freetype-hinting do not compile under gcc 3.3. There are a number of other packages which depend on these (but not a huge number -- most packages now use freetype2). Since freetype has given us problems in fink in the past, I recommend that we do NOT bring this package forward to the new tree. Hopefully, many of the dependent packages can be modified to use freetype2 instead. For a small handful of packages, I got them to work in the gcc3.3 tree by forcing the compiler to be gcc 3.1 (typically CC=gcc3 is what you need). I haven't tried that with all of the packages below; in some case, there may be a more up-to-date version which works with gcc 3.3. -- Dave Here's the list: crypto/dcmtk-ssl crypto/mozilla crypto/KDE stuff database/gramps database/mysql devel/ddd editors/abiword games/danican games/gnuchess games/gnuchess-largebook games/tornado games/xmame gnome/bundle-gnome gnome/gnome-applets gnome/shermans-aquarium graphics/aview graphics/filmgimp graphics/freetype graphics/freetype-hinting graphics/ivtools kde/EVERYTHING languages/fort77 languages/gwydion-dylan languages/gwydion-dylan-bootstrap libs/pilot-link9 libs/perlmods/dbd-mysql-pm560 libs/perlmods/pilot-link9-perl560 net/bitchx net/bitchx-gtk net/gnut net/gtkhx net/mutella net/nget sci/atlas sci/clhep sci/dcmtk sci/freehelix sci/gmt sci/grace sci/hdf sci/hdf5 sci/kseg sci/ncarg sci/netcdf sci/numeric-atlas sci/octave sci/r-base sci/scilab sci/scilab-atlas text/hevea text/lilypond text/sagasu utils/units x11/siag x11/ttfmkfontdir x11/uae x11/wmweather x11/xfonts-intl x11/xv x11-wm/blackbox-rootless x11-wm/enlightenment x11-wm/fvwm-ewmh x11-wm/icewm x11-wm/icewm-basic x11-wm/sawfish --- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ___ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel

It takes a certain amount of paranoia to use rsync -c on a regular basis :-) In the most common case, a 'fink selfupdate' would not be very resource-intensive as compared to CVS-- when both sides build their file lists, and realize that the vast majority of files are the same, there won't be much time spent checksumming. I don't know the specs of opendarwin, but I would imagine that the processor is idle more often than the network link is. As for Subversion, here's my two cents' worth. At work, I looked at migrating our collection of RCS and CVS repositories to Subversion. I encountered very little trouble in converting a CVS-based project to svn, but it was fairly small, and scheduling a few minutes of downtime to upgrade to the next major version of svn would not be a big thing. One time, when I couldn't get to the CVS server, I snagged the repository tarball. To use scientific terms, it was freakin' huge. I hope that was just because of the old file naming scheme, but before anyone decides to use Subversion to host the Fink info file collection, they should consider the effort involved in handling svn dumps of that magnitude. -- Charles Lepple [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ghz.cc/charles/ --- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ___ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
