I made a freetype2-2.1.7 package (had to redo the patch file), but I still get the crash with it. Looking at the ChangeLog and the quantity of bug fixes between 2.1.7 and 2.1.9, this is not really surprising. What rather surprises me now is that so many things built with freetype2 are actually working. ;-) Anyway, I think I'll release the scribus package anyway. I am now getting the same crash for the version of scribus currently in unstable, so the situation will not be worse than now. For mozilla, one of the possibilities that were discussed here recently was to build it with freetype disabled. -- Martin --- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.

Thanks for the endorsement! Is there any objection against upgrading the freetype2 package to this version? There are two issues that I know of: - The handling of the pkgconfig files (which were new in 2.1.9) was not quite correct yet in the version in my experimental CVS. I've just updated that to 2.1.9-2 - I didn't do the corresponding -hinting packages yet, although I suppose that should not be all that hard. I'll try to get a freetype2-hinting in my experimental dir by tomorrow, so if Jeffrey agrees, we might be able to release an upgrade sometimes next week.

[Fink-devel] hardcoded /sw/bin/perl
When a user decides no longer to use one of fink's perl packages, and to use apple's perl, he is left with a large number of broken pkgs, which have hardcoded somewhere /sw/bin/perl, w/o explicitly depending on it. To get an idea of the extent of the problem, I just tested files in /sw/bin _ and counted just the number of pkgs (ie, %N), not splits _ ie, the number of re-builds needed: # egrep "/sw/bin/perl([^5]|$)" /sw/bin/* | cut -f1 -d':' | xargs dlocate -S | cut -f1 -d':' | sort -u | grep -v 581 | xargs fink dumpinfo -p N | sed -r -e 's,^%N:[[:space:]]*,,' -e 's,[[:space:]]*$,,' | sort -u | xargs | tee ~/plpkgs | wc -w 1082 # ls -l ~/plpkgs -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 10519 Jan 8 18:48 /var/root/plpkgs (the 10519 is to be compared with 17023, a relatively recent list in same format for all installed pkgs : it is more than 60% of the pkgs) It seems totally impractical to go and scrutinize all those pkgs, and fix them... Woud it not be possible for fink to ensure that /sw/bin/perl always exists, and points to /usr/bin/perl when no pkg perlxyz is installed ? (Of course the user could do it manually _ but fink pretends to take care of dependencies for him..) This seems easy to implement, and without pitfalls _ but I might be overlooking something ?
