[Fink-devel] sdl-gfx fink packages
Hi, Just got a Mac recently and after needing the SDL_gfx library for a couple of my own profjects I created a fink package for it. This was posted as: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=1017325group_id=17203atid=414256 It's been on the tracker for over a month now with no reply. Just wondering if anyone has looked at it, or could look at it? While it does have a patch file, it is very short and will be trivial to review.

[Fink-devel] 'fink show-deps' and 'apt-get --allow-broken'
Hi Daniel I tried your new show-deps functionality in fink and it seems to work great! Thanks a lot for it. And sorry that i couldn't test it any earlier. The 'apt-get --allow-broken' thing looks very promising. I will try to find some time to look at it. How would proceed: 1. Change the 'fink --use-binary-dist' patch to use 'apt-get --allow-broken', test it and commit both together, or: 2. Commit the patch as it is and then later change it to use the new --allow-broken flag? The new apt could go into fink anyway, no? Are there any risks in just adding the new apt.info file to the unstable tree? Chris. --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?

[snip discussion] This patch is also added to the patch submission tracker at: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php? func=detailaid=1037296group_id=17203atid=317203 We discussed on #fink about how it sucks that we had to do so much work that replicated what apt usually does. So I hacked a new --allow-broken flag into apt-get that disables dependency tracking. I completely agree with you that a solution in apt-get would be a lot nicer. I will test your patched apt-get, but it seems that you are missing the patch file in the patch submission item at https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php? func=detailaid=1037296group_id=17203atid=317203 Or am i missing something? While doing that, I noticed that apt-get --print-uris does not print things that if one has already compiled a package, apt-get may see that .deb in preference to one from the apt server. Probably best to not fetch those file: URIs into the cache/apt dir. Also, that means UseBinaryDist is not use the apt server but use the apt server unless one has already compiled locally and then run scanpackages and had fink rebuild its aptdb. In the fink man file i wrote: -b, --use-binary-dist Download pre-compiled binary packages from the binary distribution if available. and that is what the patch makes fink do at the moment: First, check if the .deb is already available on the system (self compiled or from apt-get). Then, if it is not available already, check with PkgVersion::is_aptgetable() to see if the deb could be downloaded. If yes, download it, if now, it needs to be compiled. Does that answer your reservation? Or were you talking about something else? But you are correct, --use-binary-dist means: Download from the binary dist, if available on the server and if deb is not already on the system. And i think that is how it should be. There might be other opinions, though. Or we might even add a future switch that says something like '--use-only-bin-dist'. Conversely, if one has built locally, and then installs with UseBinaryDist before remembering to update, one would get a link in /sw/fink/debs to the cache/apt file. That means later even if one does *not* say UseBinaryDist, one gets the apt version. Currently, when one fetches a .deb with apt-get, it is not linked into /sw/fink/debs. This helps maintain a clear distinction between things built locally and things downloaded. Maybe should omit the link, and that way find_debfile() only look in cache/apt iff UseBinaryDist? That way user is more in control over when apt .debs are used and when not. That might be a valid point. What do others think? bbraun? akh?

Or were you talking about something else? That's exactly what I'm talking about. My concern is that the if deb is not already on the system isn't documented. Consider the XCode-1.5 fiasco. Say a user builds a package, and we tell him the package you built is broken. If he reads -b downloads from dist server, he's gonna be pretty confused when he tries to use that to get himself a non-broken package and instead winds up with the one he just (mis)compiled. [check for locally-built .deb first] And i think that is how it should be. There might be other opinions, though. Or we might even add a future switch that says something like '--use-only-bin-dist'. Yup. Would just have to pass flags to apt-get to only look in certain distributions.

APT needs an update, Peter (pogma) was working on it, but I do nto know how far he got. It's against the 10.3/unstable apt package (0.5.4-37), and would work just as well in 10.2-gcc3.3 (0.5.4-26). Actually, it's only an 18-line patch; unless apt majorly reorganized their internal code, should not be hard (heh:) to use with other apt versions. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
