I don't know my around fink (the program) well enough to add this myself, but I thought it might be helpful if there were something that did a trick like this one to verify that a .info depends on all the libraries it needs. Because of my previous comment, this cannot be used for if we find something not in Depends, then crash. More importantly, virtual (Provides) packages do not contain files (the files are part of the actual Package which Provides the virtual), so even if we ban implicit dependencies, we'd have to do a lot of pkg-info back-tracking to figure out whether a given otool-detected .dylib is covered by a Depends. Things like this are very useful, but I think it would take a *lot* of work to make it deterministic enough for a build-phase (or even validator) check.

Re: [Fink-devel] wanna be a maintainer :)
Hi Olivier Hi Christian, I'd want to take the package Boost-Jam... In fact, I'm currently trying to port openvip, a video application to fink, and already packaged successfully a Boost-Jam on my own, before discovering that this package is in the Help Needed list. Judging from http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/package.php/boost-jam boost-jam already has a maintainer: Mark Treiber So, in this case you should first talk to him about updating his package. If he doesn't want to maintain it anymore, then maybe you could take over the maintainership. This package is in the Help Needed list, since it is not yet moved to the stable tree. Ha ! ok.. I'll get in touch with him, to see if I can be of any help, so. who should I send my info file to be approved, or how should I proceed to become a maintainer ? (hope I did not miss some faq :) ) If you want to package something not yet in fink you should use the package submission tracker linked from the fink home page. Remember to run fink validate package.info and fink validate package.deb before submitting your package to the package submission tracker. Ok great. I'll do this as soon as I have nice new packages to submit. Thank you for the clarifications :) Regards, Olivier --- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings Training.

[Fink-devel] Re: Using GNU in the source URL always refers to Finks' GNU source mirror
Dan, I went into the fink.conf file and changed the mirror-master setting from first to last. That did the trick. The Source location now works as expected. Thank you for your help.

So, I updated the readline.info file to grab the patches from GNU's FTP site: Source: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/%n/%n-%v.tar.gz When I run fink, fink attempts to download from fink's GNU mirror sites not GNU's site and since the patches do not exist on Fink's GNU mirrors, the download fails. For kicks I renamed the source command URL to http://gnu/ and it did the same thing. Looks like there is a BUG in Fink that when it finds gnu anywhere in the URL, it defaults to Fink's GNU mirrors. What happens when you use a site other than GNU? (i.e., is this a parsing error with ...gnu... URLs or something where fink thinks *everything* is a GNU-mirrored thing?) What are your fink mirror settings (set by 'fink configure' and stored in /sw/etc/fink.conf)? Are you perhaps configured to use fink-mirrors before the main sites? I am running from the unstable tree using the latest Fink 20.5 (I believe) on Mac OS X 10.3 If the above does not help, we need exact and definite info about versions, your configuration, what URLs it is accessing, etc. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks --- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings Training.

Good idea. This approach gives packages that need not be specified explicitly (if they are dependencies of dependencies) but this gives a good starting point. Yeah. A starting point was all I was looking for. There's never going to be an automated way to verify that a package depends on all the right things, there are just too many ways to depend. You could call out to a program (from a script, or with some fork/exec from a program), you could do a perl use (or the same thing in your interpreted language of choice) , you could need to open a config file from another package... But if you have a binary that isn't statically linked, you'll be able to tell what it links to. There should be an automated way to make sure that the dependence tree rooted in your package does contain everything your binaries link to. I think. :-) *snip* Someone on -devel or #fink (perhaps jfm?) has a giant shell pipeline version of this (and that covers a lot of weird corner cases), that I encapsulated as fink-dep-check in my experimental dir.

[Fink-devel] simage version number - mac osx
Hi All, I'm working with the fink folks to get simage/coin/soqt into fink. It all runs, but we are working on getting everything up to their specs. I'm starting with simage and have run into some trouble with simage. The library needs to have the same compatability and file version numbers. simage is calling the library simage 20, yet otool is reporting compatability version 27. The need these numbers to match up. I don't know how to get libtool and the config files to get these to line up. The version-info passed to lib tool is 26:0:6. How does this get translated into a dylib filename of 20 and a compat version of 27? Could someone please help me getting these lined up?

[Fink-devel] emacs seg fault with cedet
Hi Fink list, I am cutting and pasting a bug report I filed on the emacs CEDET list a few days ago, because it appears to be an emacs problem, not a CEDET problem. Original post URL: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=5003417forum_id=4869 Original post Pasted: I am fairly new to Java programming, but my home environment is writing code in *nix and emacs, so I figured I would try the JDEE, which requires some cedet packages. I am trying to install cedet-1.0beta2b on an Mac OS X box, and a compilation error occurs. I have included the make/emacs output barf at the bottom of this email. I am using the following versions: uname -a: Darwin gouda 7.4.0 Darwin Kernel Version 7.4.0: Wed May 12 16:58:24 PDT 2004; root:xnu/xnu-517.7.7.obj~7/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh powerpc fink: 0.7.0.cvs emacs: GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 make: GNU Make 3.79.1 cedet: 1.0beta2b I have downloaded and installed eieio-0.17, elib-1.0, semantic-1.4.4, and speedbar 0.14beta4 as individual packages. This worked fine, but for obvious reasons I would like to use the top level package. It looks to me like emacs is crashing during (batch-byte-recompile-directory), but I am not sure. Any suggestions?

The discussion here with Chris gave me that impression: Yes, indeed, i thought that was the case. But i might be wrong. Let's see what the other developers have to say. It is quite normal for the number in the filename to differ from the number in the compatibility version. For example, if you have libfoo.0.dylib and libfoo.0.0.0.dylib etc. built with libtool you will find that there is a compat version of 1. GNU libtool always adds 1 to the compat version because ld does not like -compatibility_version 0.. Now Kurt says that 26:0:6 is the number passed to gnulibtool, so that means it has an age of 6, so it should be numbered 20 in the file name (26 - 6 = 20), and 26 would be the compat version if we did not have to add 1 to satisfy the darwin linker. So you end up with a libfoo.20.dylib and libfoo.20.6.0.dylib, this is perfectly proper and should not be modified.
