On Panther this works, on Tiger it doesn't any more. One really seems to need the additional '(ALL)'. At least one needs it for the weird fink perl tests. I haven't seen any other adverse effects.

The root of the problem is 10.4-transitional/stable libdnet installs the shlibs as libdnet-shlibs and unstable installs them as libdnet1-shlibs with no provides, or other compatibility tags. So, when I have unstable satisfying deps prior to unstable, and things depend on both libdnet and libdnet-shlibs, unstable libdnet is found, which depends on libdnet1-shlibs, and the stable libdnet gets pulled in to satisfy libdnet-shlibs, but they conflict. I solved this little problem by having everything that depends on libdnet-shlibs, depend on libdnet1-shlibs | libdnet-shlibs. This probably isn't the right solution.

Just a small remark to this point: The {Pre,Post}{Inst,Rm}Scripts
already are always executed as a whole with a first line #!/bin/sh
thrown in by fink. After you install the package, you can find the
final form of these scripts in %p/var/lib/dpkg/info/.
I see now... when I saw errors for the Install Script, I presumed
that the same problem would pertain to the Pre and Post Scripts as
well, but of course these are executed by dpkg as single units unlike
the Install Script which is executed line by line by fink itself.
As a matter of interest, would it not be more consistent to execute
the Install Script as a single entity also, in the same way as the
Pre and Post Scripts in the deb are? Just a thought, as I've been
using fink for only 48 hours now and am still getting used to its
idiosyncrasies.
That seems like a pretty big change...I know some of the almost 8000
.info files in the 10.3 and 10.4 trees rely on the existing behavior
(each line starting with the original env vars and working directory).
There are many things about fink that do not behave exactly as one
might expect, which is why we have extensive documentation. A good
place to learn all the specifics about each .info field is the
Packaging Manual (in the Documentation tab off fink's homepage). In
section 5.2 (Fields), you will see the description of the
InstallScript field:
A list of commands that are run in the install phase. See the note
on scripts below.
Looks like we forgot to hyperlink to that below, but you can find
section 5.4 (Scripts):
This field can be a simple list of commands. This is sort of like a
shell script. However, the commands are executed via system(), one
line at a time, so setting variables or changing the directory only
affects commands on that same line.[...] Alternately, you can embed
a complete script here, using the interpreter of your choice. As
with any Unix script, the first line must begin with #! followed by
the full pathname of to the interpreter and any needed flags (e.g.,
#!/bin/csh, #!/bin/bash -ev, etc.). In this situation, the whole
*Script field is dumped into a temporary file that is then executed.
Conversely, the description for PreInstScript (and the other dpkg
scripts) reads:
These fields specify pieces of shell scripts that will be called
when the package is installed, upgraded or removed. Fink
automatically adds the shell script header #!/bin/sh,
Hope this clears up the mystery for you.

To me, the section in the unstable libdnet SplitOff: Package: %N1-shlibs Conflicts: %N-shlibs Replaces: %N ( 1.5-2), %N-shlibs looks very much in contradiction with Fink shlibs policy. Why is this called %N1-shlibs when it provides the library with the same install_name as the previous %N-shlibs? Either the library is compatible with the older one, as its install_name and the higher compatibility number indicate, then the package name should be the same, or it is incompatible, then it should get a different install_name and no Conflicts/Replaces need to be there. What is the reason for this weird situation? Shouldn't the reason at least be mentioned in the info file? -- Martin --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.

Re: [Fink-devel] A carbon emacs package (first draft) (version 22.0.50, cvs 5/5/2005)

Just a thought, as I've been using fink for only 48 hours now and am still getting used to its idiosyncrasies. That seems like a pretty big change...I know some of the almost 8000 .info files in the 10.3 and 10.4 trees rely on the existing behavior (each line starting with the original env vars and working directory). There are many things about fink that do not behave exactly as one might expect, which is why we have extensive documentation. A good place to learn all the specifics about each .info field is the Packaging Manual (in the Documentation tab off fink's homepage). In section 5.2 (Fields), you will see the description of the InstallScript field: A list of commands that are run in the install phase. See the note on scripts below. Looks like we forgot to hyperlink to that below, but you can find section 5.4 (Scripts): This field can be a simple list of commands. This is sort of like a shell script. However, the commands are executed via system(), one line at a time, so setting variables or changing the directory only affects commands on that same line.[...] Alternately, you can embed a complete script here, using the interpreter of your choice. As with any Unix script, the first line must begin with #! followed by the full pathname of to the interpreter and any needed flags (e.g., #!/bin/csh, #!/bin/bash -ev, etc.). In this situation, the whole *Script field is dumped into a temporary file that is then executed. Conversely, the description for PreInstScript (and the other dpkg scripts) reads: These fields specify pieces of shell scripts that will be called when the package is installed, upgraded or removed. Fink automatically adds the shell script header #!/bin/sh, Hope this clears up the mystery for you. It does, and I hope that my question didn't seem to be a criticism, I can see situations where line by line execution would be more appropriate, and as I have now discovered execution of the aggregate is easily enough achieved where this is important. Still figuring out fink's variants at present, not quite as simple as USE flags in Gentoo or variants in DarwinPorts, but I'll get there in the end. Thanks to both Daniel Macks and Martin Costabel for their explanations of things which I should already have read. :-). Daniel. P.S. Not sure yet if thank you messages are acceptable on list, or whether they should be individually addressed only, still a fink newbie I'm afraid. --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.

Re: [Fink-devel] qt3, kde in 10.4-transitional/stable

In 10.3/stable, the argument against having qt3-3.3.x (needed by scribus-1.2.1) was that the kde version in stable needed the older qt3 version 3.2.2. Now kde has not yet been put into 10.4-transitional/stable, and I would like to suggest not to copy the old version 3.1 from 10.3/stable to 10.4-transitional/stable, but rather the version 3.4 from unstable, if at all. That's fine by me, I plan on moving KDE 3.4 Any Minute Now (read: as soon as I have free time to try to double-check new dependencies) to stable. It's not perfect, but it's good enough, and beats the hell out of 3.1. Feel free to do what you need to get scribus happy. OK, I did this now (fingers crossed): I copied scribus to stable, copied also qt3 from unstable to stable. I did not remove the cups-dev dependencies, but rather castrated the cups-dev package, both in stable and unstable. It is now a dummy. I left the operation scars in the info file, but IIUC there will soon be a cups-dev virtual package in fink anyway, so that the cups-dev.info file can then be removed completely. -- Martin --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
