[Fink-devel] variants and patching
Hi, For a package I maintain only one of the variants needs to be patched.

Probably the best way is to use a PatchScript:
PatchScript:
#!/bin/sh -ev
if [ %type_raw[-foo] = -foo ]; then
patch -p1 %a/%{Ni}.patch
fi
Do we currently have a policy for multiple patch-files? Eg: If your
package 'foo' already has a 'Patch: %n.patch' for all cases, but one
variant 'bar' needs a supplemental patch, what should be done? The
options I can think of are:
1) Have a %a/foo-bar.patch in CVS, which is applied in a PatchScript.
2) Have your regular patch-file, in addition to patching normal files,
also add the secondary patch-file into the package build dir. Then just
apply it with 'patch -p1 foo-bar.patch' in the PatchScript.
3) Try really, really hard to make everything dependent on, say, env
vars or -Ddefine's, so that a supplementary patch isn't needed.
Any preferences?

For me :
3 : a patch should be something that can/should go upstream,
thus, not only independent of the specific variant chosen,
but even applicable to any other system, or other configuration
options.
Nothing against multiplicity _ on the contrary, if they are
functionally different.
In response to 2:
There is no problem of sourcing _ conditionally if desired _
multiple functionally different patch-files anywhere within
any {Patch,Compile,Install}Script ...
And there are pkgs doing this (cf eg the pgsql pkgs).
No need to have the setup of (2).
But, to adhere to the above ideology, patches should be
unconditional _ and applicable to the real original sources.

[Fink-devel] package renaming
Hi, I recently took over maintainership for the package 'python-biopython-py'. However, I think the name biopython-py would be more appropriate. Unless there is a special reason why (some) python packages have the python prefix, but most not. Would it be a big problem, if I rename the package? I can leave in the old info files, and add the new ones. The new ones will only be updated in the future. cheers, - Koen. --- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

[Fink-devel] /sw/lib/libgcc_s.dylib
Hi, gpc installs /sw/lib/libgcc_s.dylib . I would think no pkg should install such files _ even compilers. I get pkgs linked to this that have nothing to do with pascal.. Can't a layout be used like for the other compilers (gcc4, etc) ?
