[Fink-devel] Merge fink ChangeLogs?
While looking through the fink codebase in CVS, I noticed that we still use a separate ChangeLog for each directory. To be frank, I do not know why we ever made this separation (it simply existed from day one), but now that I have some distance from the code (not having worked on it for a very long time), I wonder if this is a good idea... Most other projects I know have a single ChangeLog in a central place. The advantage is that you only have one place to search if you are looking for a specific change. Also, if you want to know what changed since your last cvs up, you only have to look through one ChangeLog. And if you commit a patch that affects multiple directories at once, you only add one ChangeLog entry, instead of multiple (which makes sense if those changes really belong together; they might not even make sense when viewed separately). Hence, I am wondering whether we should merge all those ChangeLogs (21) and only keep a single one... This would involved changing entries like 2001-05-08 Christoph Pfisterer [EMAIL PROTECTED] * config.guess, config.sub: Updated with latest version (2001-04-20) from ftp.gnu.org. such that they list the full file path, i.e. update/config.guess, update/config.sub in this case. And of course removing duplicate entries etc., in short, a lot of manual work. Clearly, this would be a *lot* of work for perlmod/Fink/ChangeLog which is by far the biggest. All the others are fairly short. My suggestion hence would be to start out by merging all ChangeLogs *except* for perlmod/Fink/ChangeLog into a single one (this should be relatively quickly done, and I would do it). While not quite perfect, this would mean that at least there are only two, instead of 21, ChangeLog files to watch update. Merging perlmod/Fink/ ChangeLog then could be done at a later point, or gradually, or with a clever script, or by hiring some slaves, or so ;-). What do you think? Is this idea bogus?

No, it's a good idea, many times i edit one changelog, and forget to edit the 2nd. If you would be willing to start, I will help when I can. It would be hard to coordinate, but maybe when someone starts to play w/the changelog they commit their name at the end of the file, then when they are done playing, remove their name. This way we don't get multiple people working on it, and lots of conflicts. Also make sure people only use the main ChangeLog from now on. - -chris zubrzycki - - -- PGP public key: http://homepage.mac.com/beren/publickey.txt ID: 0xA2ABC070 Fingerprint: 26B0 BA6B A409 FA83 42B3 1688 FBF9 8232 A2AB C070 _ This message is encoded using the Rot-26 encoding method.

We can't go to a *single* fink/ ChangeLog file because there are some subdirectories that are also their own distribution. I *think* mirrors/ is the only one? For the rest, the vast majority of changes are to perlmod/Fink/* files and having the ChangeLog right there makes it easier to remember to edit it and there is less uninteresting information in it (the directory is factored out of all of the entries). Most other projects I know have a single ChangeLog in a central place. Most have a separate po/ChangeLog, but that's because usually a different team works on those files than on the rest of the project and most changes there do not affect things outside of there. The advantage is that you only have one place to search if you are looking for a specific change. Also, if you want to know what changed since your last cvs up, you only have to look through one ChangeLog. However, CVS appears to operate on a per-directory basis, so browsing -commits with a unified ChangeLog means that the changes and their ChangeLog entry are no longer in the same message. And if you commit a patch that affects multiple directories at once, you only add one ChangeLog entry, instead of multiple (which makes sense if those changes really belong together; they might not even make sense when viewed separately). However, the vast majority of fink changes do not affect multiple locations, or if they do, they are ones that already have a unified ChangeLog, such as Fink/* and its subdirs. Personally, I'd be happy with unification, except for perlmods. Especially because I think there's a lot of messly layout there...I keep meaning to experiment with it, but simple things like moving a file into a different directory is a pain when there are multiple ChangeLog files. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Would it be the case on Mac Intel? Some people reported that disabling one processor makes them work. Is this at all possible on Mac Intel, and then does it work? Does it make any difference if full mozilla is installed, and not just mozilla-browser?
