Just a follow up to my own mail. Since no one screamed and shouted at
me, I am giving this 24 hours, then I will cvs remove the pws and
phpmyadmin folders from teh web-module. There is no use keeping them in
there, forcing people to updated them on their cvs up runs when no one
actually uses the data stroed in the folders.

btw if you want to take it out of cvs, but fix the webserver update

it), that's fine.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: RIPEMD160
In oder to check distfiles mirrors and their usability i was wondering
if we should attach a little script which does what is described here:
http://www.stonehenge.com/merlyn/LinuxMag/col53.html

[suggested title: ``Checking your website's health, part 1'']

In last month's column, I talked about checking one aspect of a website,
namely that the internal links all point to other useful pages, and that
the external links are still valid.
But that's not the only thing that can go wrong with a website. If we're
looking at continuous operation of an e-commerce site using the
high-availability tricks described elsewhere, we also must ensure that
search forms really operate, and that the pages we visit have reasonable
content. This is especially true for dynamically-generated web pages,
and especially those that generate a ``everything's OK'' 200 status when
the content of the page contains a Java traceback from a database
connection..

Alexander,

Creation/editing can be preserved as it is, I'm not thinking to
touch that at all. 

In the short term I'll concentrate on input of content; cleanup 
what's already there and add a special section for beginners 
to download, install and troubleshoot fink.

But at the same time, for the long term, I'm looking at possible
changes to the Fink web-site:

1. Color  style.
2. Easy navigation for both types of users beginners and expert.
3. Reduce the number of clicks to access important information.

A possible style change would be similar to 'netbeans.org' where 
the news and welcome info is displayed in the middle with simple 
menu bars on either side directing users to their relevant locations.

Why not? If there are no longer needed there is no use keeping them
around. Especially in the web-folder for _auxiliary_ tools. Since Ben
stated that he still uses phpmyadmin, i am of course not touching. but
what about pws? Does anyone use that? Does nayone need it? If there is a
no to both questions what does it do in the web-module then?  I am going
as far as that such useless bits of data should be rm -rf'd from the CVS
Repository in SF and maybe copied to a backup.
But as I said, I am not touching anything that is in use.

[Fink-devel] Trees not searched in order?

2003-12-09 Thread Randal L. Schwartz

I wanted to roll back from unstable's libxml2 at version 2.6.x, to
stable's libxml2 at version 2.5.x so that I can build Perl's
XML::LibXML again (which isn't compatible with 2.6.x yet).

I thought I could just copy the stable .info file to my local/main
area, and since I have local first, it would shadow the ones
defined later.  Apparently that's not the case.

Do I really have to blow away the unstable versions just so that
it sees the stable versions?  My next rsync update will then
re-upgrade me.  Ugh.

Why isn't the order of Trees important?

it's tree but version is higher, is if there is a newer version in on 
of the included trees it'll prefer it.

plus if you have the old one compiled the deb is still there and it'll 
pick it.

but you can do
fink install libxml2-2.5.x-%r and it'll force that one.  But you need 
the revision.  and update-all will default to replace it.

It is somewhat less intuitive, yes _ and further was unannounced, and

while this ordering is really an important config tool for users, and 
there were several

Fink always picks the newest epoch/version/revision tuple regardless of 
tree order.  The only time tree order matters is if you somehow happen 
to have 2 different versions of the same versioned package in different 
trees (which shouldn't happen unless you messed with a package and put 
it in local, in which case you reap what you sow).

If you want to install a specific version, you do fink install foo-0.1-1.

If you want it to never upgrade you, then your options are to not run 
unstable, or hack the old package to have a newer epoch and put it in 
your local tree, but you'll never get upgrades again until things happen 
 to match up epoch-wise.

Or don't run update-all if you don't want all packages updated.  ;)

Undocumented and undefined behavior is not something you go out of your

There's no reason tree order should matter, highest version always wins. 
 If you're hand-editing packages so that they're not the same between 
different trees, it's not supported *anyways*.

I think a few features should be held out Dave

since we are still discussing on fink splitoffs and fink showparent, 
I'd leave those out, and there is a bug in the sub get_splitoffs, I 
hope to have that fixed but still we should leave it out for now since 
it's not documented.

Also could we get more feedback on the changes I made to the dep 
engine, I'd like to get more ppl using it, since I have no reports or 
very very little.  It scares me, it either just works or not many ppl 
are using/reporting it.  And BuildConflicts isn't documented.  fink 
list -b and fink remove -b is in the fink list --help and fink 
remove--help but it's not ducomented anywhere else either.

That's about all I can think of for now. :)

maybe someone will know this better then me.

in get_splitoffs I'm using this

   $package = Fink::PkgVersion-match_package($name);

which will return one match to a pkg name
maybe the fault it there since there are two versions of netpbm-bin.
or am I wrong, does it return both and I just don't know how to get the 
info from package at that point?

Fink always picks the newest epoch/version/revision tuple regardless of 
tree order.  The only time tree order matters is if you somehow happen 
to have 2 different versions of the same versioned package in different 
trees (which shouldn't happen unless you messed with a package and put 
it in local, in which case you reap what you sow).
I hadn't read Randal's message completely, sorry. Of course, if you have 
a higher version-revision anywhere, it will be used.

I was talking about the other situation where you just want to try a 
small modification of the latest version. It used to be possible to copy 
it into local, modify it there, and have it used by fink automatically. 
 I would not call this messing, but a consistent use of the Trees 
line. Unfortunately, it doesn't work any more.

Re: [Fink-devel] new fink commands

2003-12-09 Thread TheSin
I think this is true for at least parent, as I explained before I have 
many users ask where a pkg is, like in the case of mplayer which 
depends on libavcodec which is in ffmpeg.  Fink will say it can't find 
the depend on libavcodec, and then ppl don't know where to find this.  
Now if it's not in there tree this won't help but I figured the PDB 
might be able to use it at least and other then that it's a good devel 
tool as would fink locate so you know what file it's reading from, 
which I wanna add next but i wanna wwait to see if you are gonna add a 
devel space first.

I wonder why you think so? Why would a non-developer need these? All 
situations I can think off were they might need it are scenarios were 
they have to fix/workaround bugs. I.e. it's like with tools to repair 
a car: the average car driver should never have to use them, but some 
people still want to be able to use them, and sometimes the car is not 
well built so you prefer learning how to repair it yourself instead of 
having to pay for the service (i.e. ask on a mailing list) each 
time. But that's more a sign of a not well made car (i.e. it means 
there are things in fink which should be improved).

It's the cure of the symptom vs. cure of the cause debate. IMHO 
you shouldn't have to know about splitoffs at all, if you have to, 
then usually because you need to cure a symptom, but the real fix 
would be for the fink developers to cure the cause :-)

Just to clarify something: When I say I consider these as developer 
commands, that doesn't mean I want to prevent normal users from 
using them. Rather it means that the primary audience for them will be 
fink developers/packagers. Just like Apple's Developer Tools: 
Everybody can install them, but most non-developers have no reason. Of 
course there are still some non-developers (e.g. Fink users :-) who 
may want to install them anyway, which is fine.

no this isn't true as JFM showed us...

[EMAIL PROTECTED] [~]$ fink splitoffs netpbm-bin netpbm10
Information about 1923 packages read in 2 seconds.
Information about 27 shared libraries read in 0 seconds.
netpbm-bin is a child, it's parent netpbm10 has 2 children:
- netpbm10-shlibs
- netpbm-bin
netpbm10 has 2 children:
- netpbm10-shlibs

so netpbm-bin has two parents and match_package doesn't account for

fink showparent libavcodec-shlibs would show it's in ffmpeg.  then they

I've never looked at the PDB so your right but then it could reuse the 
sub to get this info.  And add a show parent in the PDB for users, but 
then it could be in the devel module.

so how about it? I'm willing to get the module started and move some 
commands to it, if someone will right the release code to exclude it?  
I personally like this method

fink devel which loads Fink::Devel if present else it errors like it 
would if the command doesn't exist.

[Fink-devel] documentation updates

2003-12-09 Thread David R. Morrison
Folks, we need a few updates in the packaging manual.  Section 5.4 on scripts
is out of date; could somebody who is familiar with the current script
rules please revise it?  (just send the text here if you don't know how
do the xml edits)

Also, I detected some amiguities between Validation.pm and what the manual
says, concerning the fields in a SplitOff.  It's not so clear which of
the initial data fields are actually allowed... it seems that UpdatePOD
is missing from Validation.pm in the splitoff section (or if not, that
it should be mentioned in the manual that its not allowed)... and
the manual says that Essential is not allowed in a splitoff but this is
no longer correct.

Could someone familiar with the splitoff code take a look at this?

  Thanks,
  Dave

There are other packages that do this. python has python21, python22, 
and python23 as parents. IIRC one of the reasons for introducing this 
was that you could not have versioned dependencies on virtual packages 
(you can now, can't you?).

Another is probably that parts of the shlibs policy are not 
contradiction-free. It is not clear how to deal with version-dependent 
files that don't have version-dependent names. As we have seen in the 
libpng/libpng3 disaster, there is no solution for this problem.
