[Fink-devel] net-snmp on Tiger
Hi everyone, I've been trying to get a lot of my packages working on Tiger, and have finally gotten around to net-snmp. I noticed (from discussions on the list, and a bit of playing around) that net-snmp 5.2 is actually included in the base system. Given this, is there really a need for a net-snmp package? Perhaps if someone wants an OpenSSL- enabled version... On that note, there are some patches in the Darwin source. (http:// darwinsource.opendarwin.org/10.4.1/net_snmp-16/patches/) Does anyone know what the license is for these? I was hoping to use these for the Fink package... Thanks!

[Fink-devel] Depends on x11 vs X11
I noted an inconsistency between fink and apt-get when working with a new package I created. I mistakenly had a Depends on X11 in the info file. Fink accepted that, but when I tried to use the deb to install on another computer, it complained that it couldn't find X11. I changed the spelling to the correct x11 and everything is fine. But, I wonder if fink really should accept x11. Kevin Horton Ottawa, Canada --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

[Fink-devel] GCC: 3.3 line requires gcc 4 - why?
Maybe there is a very good explanation for this, but it has me baffled. I've created a new package that won't build with gcc 4. So, I put a GCC: 3.3 line in the info file, thinking that this would allow fink to tell the user he needed to run gcc_select 3.3. But, I discovered that if you have gcc_select 3.3, and there is a GCC: 3.3 line in the .info file, fink tells you to run gcc_select 4.0. Why? This seems very backwards to me.

Fink never used to look at the field, don't know if current versions do. I've read the packaging manual, looked at man gcc, and finally found the answer by doing a global search of info files for setcc, now that you've pointed me to it. It would be useful if the packaging manual could provide specific instructions on how to make a package use gcc 3.3, rather than just having a vague instruction to set the cc flag. That might be enough info for someone who already knows how to specify that fink use gcc 3.3, but it sure wasn't enough for me. Thanks for the hint, and thanks for fink.

Fink package names are always lowercase, so x11 is correct. fink the package manager converts package names to lowercase anyhow, so its dependency checking mechanism is happy with X11, too. When you install the deb, it is dpkg not fink who is checking the package names, and dpkg seems to be case-sensitive. -- Martin --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

Maybe fink validate should check for upper case package names, to ensure that packages will be useable in the binary distribution.

According to the license file on the server http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.4.1/net_snmp-16/net_snmp.txt, the package has a BSD license. I would assume that this covers the patches, too. OTOH, it is perhaps a good idea to get rid of the package altogether. On Panther already fink's version was older than the system one. -- Martin --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
