Re: [Fink-devel] rsync vs. cvs
David R. Morrison wrote: The simplest thing to do is to simply add this as an alternative method. But we were just discussing on #fink a more drastic change: we could scrap anonymous cvs access altogether, and offer only two access methods, rsync or ext cvs (the latter for fink developers only). Any opinions about this? Rob's patch will allow users to configure their rsync server, so several servers could be set up eventually. Hi, I'd suggest that for the first (couple?) of releases of fink with Rob's patch, the selfupdate-cvs command continue to work as is, but with a this command has been deprecated, use selfupdate-rsync warning. Now, to throw in another suggestion, I think that the selfupdate-cvs command could be removed altogether. Developers are mode than capable of pulling the tree using cvs, adding packages to it, and testing them in their fink environment before committing. It would be less convenient, but it would ensure that we are using the same tools as users, and we would likely react more quickly to problems if they affect us too :-p Peter --- 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

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.) I did as you said. But after the inject dist still points to 10.2: dists - 10.2/ Am i supposed to change that manually? From your description i had the impression that fink-0.13.9.cvs should do that automatically.

[Fink-devel] gcc_select 3
Greatings, I have upgraded to fink 13.9 from the cvs and run ./inject.pl I'm running on Panther which means I'm using gcc3.3 by default I had very few problems compiling programs via fink, that is until today. Now that the gcc_select is up it forces me to switch to gcc_select 3 before compiling. This is bad as everything else in compiled with 3.3 not 3.1 . I don't understand why it thinks I have to use 3.1 even when the same program compiled fine before on 3.3... I also tried to fix the link: dists - 10.2-gcc3.3 but to no avail. I am not a fink developer and thus use the anonymous@ cvs. (I don't know if this is the cause). any pointers how I can avoid the select_gcc 3 ? thanks, Yarden --- 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

Re: [Fink-devel] gcc_select 3
We're still in the process of upgrading packages to be ready for gcc 3.3. The enforcement of the fink declaration GCC: 3.1 was not done in the past, but is now being done with the recent upgrade. Your best strategy if you are using panther is to make sure that the dists symlink points to 10.2-gcc3.3 . In that tree, you'll find that all stable packages can be compiled with gcc 3.3. For packages in 10.2-gcc3.3/unstable, you might need to edit the GCC line in the info file from 3.1 to 3.3. We're working on this, but each package needs to be tested. -- 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
