[Fink-devel] An Experiment. Locating Fink Users with Google Earth and Earthwind. Participate? Please do!
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Dear Community. I have been thinking about geo-locating Fink Users for quite some time now. This mainly serves two purposes. First of all I am very curious where all the people that use Fink actually live and second of all, this should be a service for our community. Do you want to know who is close to use and uses Fink? Is a Fink user group feasible? How many Fink users are within 10 miles of me? I do realize there is an inherent risk of data abuse curled into this and therefore this is my personal test to test how much you are willing to trust. It is _up to you_ how precise you wish to be. City accuracy? Absolutely ok. If you want to be as accurate as going down to your actual street address, here is what you can do. If you live in the United States you can use: http://geocoder.us to get the exact Longitude and latitude of your position If you live in Canada you can use. http://geocoder.ca to get the exact longitude and latitude of your position. If you live in Europe you can use. http://www.maporama.com to get the exact longitude and latitude of your position. For me that would be (as an example): Latitude: 48.18 Longitude: 16.328 (Make sure you use the second value that maporama supplies you with) What will happen with your data? I will take the data you supply me with and encode it into a KML file that you can then download for use with Google Earth and Earthwind. In the future I would like to see something like people.finkproject.org which will enable you to locate people via a web-interface that could use the Google API. Further more, in the future, a picture of yourself or little facts could be linked to your long/lat if you want that to happen. This is only an experiment. Depending on how much response i get, I will put more or less time into this. Right now this is my private idea, my private joy in doing this for the community. If I see enough response i will happily push to make this an official Fink effort. Please DO not reply to the list, reply _directly_ to me with your Long/Lat. if you have general ideas or concerns, then reply to _ONE_ list, do NOT cross post!

The other reason (now that I thought about it), is that it is probably much easier for me to introduce the collected data into the Layout and look and feel of Fink when I have the original data to start out with. A very personal reason is, that I am not comfortable with the thought that some third party has access to such vital information about our community. Do have a look at http://www.frappr.com/?a=doc§ion=tou especially third party disclosure. But as I said... you guys decide :) - -d -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (Darwin) iD8DBQFEU2idPMoaMn4kKR4RApi/AJ4onzamQ+yMJC6nFPLswBNTVMMMJwCdFNwf mXPTyKbOkKyfMoUE+ScJt4Y= =4njW -END PGP SIGNATURE- --- Using Tomcat but need to do more?

I think this is a cool idea. Wouldn't it be easier to just set up a Frappr page for fink users (http://www.frappr.com/)? David H. wrote: Dear Community.

[Fink-devel] gcc4 needs patch
Jeff, Now that gmp 4.2 is in unstable we will need to patch gcc4 to build against it. This issue is discussed in the thread... http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2006-04/msg00183.html and the proposed patch is in... http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2006-04/msg00190.html which changes the dependency from just gmp (which used to be built against mpfr) to both gmp and mpfr (since gmp 4.2 doesn't build against mpfr anymore). You also might as well take a snapshot of the current gcc 4.1 branch for the next gcc4 package since there is a huge number of fixes for gfortran in there. Jack --- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
