Since the discussion about this has not yet led to a definition of a clear "official" Fink policy, there is no written documentation. As with other emerging features of Fink, the "documentation" consists of mailing list archives and, mainly, examples in the form of existing packages. Besides texshop, there are aquaterm and freefem++. I have some others in my experimental directory on the cvs server. If I can figure this out, I would be glad to take a shot at packaging AquaEthereal (which has tons of downloads at Apple) or AquaScribus and submitting it at the Fink site. I would be interested in aquascribus, too, so maybe we can figure this out together. If you tell me what you have to do to build this and what you tried for making a Fink package, I think I could tell you how to finish it. -- Martin --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?

Re: [Fink-devel] fink using apt-get [with patch rev. 7 & 8]
Hi Daniel Thank you very much for your feedback. I try to comment, although most of what you are discussing comes from the decisions made by bbraun in the first revision of the patch. So we should wait for his comments too. On 28.09.2004, at 18:36, Daniel Macks wrote: Some thoughts on patch #5: Our .deb repository is built with %p=/sw. If that is not how a user has configured his fink, even a .deb present in apt-cache is not usable. That is a very good point and i didn't think of that problem. Both new patches at the end now check for $basepath and don't download .debs if it isn't '/sw'. In PkgVersion::apt_fetch, you appear to download the .deb to $basepath/fink/debs. Is our apt-get hacked to know to look there, does one have to first run "scanpackages" or some such? Reason I ask is that it feels confusing that one would use fink "to download the .deb from the apt repository" but then apt doesn't automatically see it. You are right. I just discussed it with akh too. And apt-get does indeed not know about these debs. Also, 'fink scanpackages' doesn't help here, since this path is not in '/sw/etc/apt/sources.list'. Adding a extra line there doesn't seem wise either. So, that means that 'fink -b install foo', 'fink remove foo' 'apt-get install foo' does download the foo.deb twice into two different locations, which seems stupid. Also, that means you're mixing downloaded and locally-built .deb. That could make it hard to debug user problems, since one could not determine whose .deb-building broke. Would be better to download to apt's location? Yes, i (and akh too...) guess so. Especially since 'fink install foo' seems to look into '/sw/var/cache/apt/archives/' too. E.g. 'fink install foo' will generate a 'dpkg -i /sw/var/cache/apt/archives/foo.deb'. So that seems like a valid option. Are we missing anything here? Patch rev 8 does implement the downloading into /sw/var/cache/apt/archives. Also in that method, you first try to download the .deb, and then if that fails you symlink the one in apt's location. No, i think you misread that. We only try to symlink if the download succeeded. These download methods have strange return codes in fink... ;) Why not look for the already-downloaded file first, and only download if it's not already present? The symlink call needs some error checking. But why symlink at all, given that you also hack PkgVersion::find_debfile to look in apt's cache? The error checking was missing and is now added. Also, the symlinking was wrong completely. It is now fixed in path #7 That find_debfile check for an apt .deb should only happen if user sets --use-binary-dist. The whole sub where the check is happening is only executed when --use-binary-dist is enabled. Or am i missing something here? I am not sure what you mean. Anyway, added to that mail are two patches: #7 implements all enhancements described here and downloads the debs into /sw/fink/debs with a symlink to it in /sw/var/cache/apt/archives/. #8 also has all changes but downloads the debs into /sw/var/cache/apt/archives/ directly, without any symlinking needed. Both versions seem to work fine here. What shall we implement? I think we need some advice here... and testing, of cause!

I'm open to suggestions on how best to toggle this. Also, it does not run apt-get update from fink index, so you'll need to do that seperately. It should update apt-get's notion of reality. I just tested this on larger sets, and it fails miserably. I have some ideas on how to fix it though, so stay tuned. Any helpful comments/code would be appreciated. ;-) Here comes another version of the patch (rev. 6). It now does check for md5 checksums after the .deb is downloaded and also offers the chance to try to download it again.

Also: I think the line 'Fink::Package->update_aptdb();' in Package.pm should probably only be called if UseBinaryDist is enabled. But i am not sure here. Please: If any of the more experienced fink developers could have a look at the code that would be very nice! Thanks, Chris. fink_apt_get6.patch Description: Binary data
