Re: [Fink-devel] possible dpkg fix

[Robert T Wyatt]

Nevermind. The solutions for the two computers were:

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite 
/sw/var/cache/apt/archives/coreutils-default_1%3a5.96-5_darwin-powerpc.deb

and

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite 
/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/utils/coreutils-default_5.96-5_darwin-powerpc.deb

That fixed the coreutils-default problem. I still don't know how to get 
rid of the half-installed mysql-ssl though.

Thanks,
Robert

I'm using this dpkg on two machines. It did build and install successfully.

Unfortunately I've come across a problem and I'm not sure where the 
cause lies (quite likely it is user error). Let me try to describe the 
situation. I noticed that mysql.info was updated recently so I went to 
upgrade my package. That's when I realized that I somehow got non-ssl 
packages mixed in with -ssl packages. So I tried to install mysql-ssl 
along with mysql-ssl-client mysql-ssl15-dev mysql-ssl15-shlibs. At which 
point I had to remove a few dependent packages as well as 
coreutils-default because dpkg complained that mysql-ssl was trying to 
overwrite package /sw/bin/test which is also in coreutils-default. I 
also ran into other difficulties with mysql-ssl so I tried to remove all 
of these packages and reinstall coreutils-default.

Anyhow, I'm now at a point (on both computers) where mysql-ssl is not 
installed but I cannot install coreutils-default because it is trying to 
overwrite /sw/bin/test which is also in mysql-ssl (which is not installed).

I'll happily try any recommendations. --Robert

Most of the time this is due to an upstream error, they have '-L./foo/ 
bar -lbar' in their Makefile.am where they should have './foo/bar/ 
libbar.la'. If libtool recognizes a library as being relative to the  
build directory and not an installed library, then it will not add it  
to dependency_libs.

Oops, please substitute "smattering" with "load" in the above  
sentence (and consider this as yet another example of why cut&paste  
should be used with utmost care ;).

[Fink-devel] Do we now allow "-" in revision strings? (package validation results)

[Max Horn]

Hi folks,

I felt a bit bored today and thus decided to run the validator over  
all .info files in the 10.4 unstable tree. I got a smattering of  
errors and warnings (see the attached file). I already emailed some  
maintainers to ask them specifically to fix some of the issues listed  
there. But I am wondering about the following one:


Error: Package revision may only contain lowercase letters,  
numbers,'.' and '+' (emacs21-nox.info)
Error: Package revision may only contain lowercase letters,  
numbers,'.' and '+' (emacs21-xaw3d.info)
Error: Package revision may only contain lowercase letters,  
numbers,'.' and '+' (emacs21.info)
Error: Package revision may only contain lowercase letters,  
numbers,'.' and '+' (emacs22.info)
Error: Package revision may only contain lowercase letters,  
numbers,'.' and '+' (g77-3.4-20031015-2.info)



So right now, our validator doesn't allow "-" in the package  
revisions. I think this has (or at least, used to have) a good reason  
-- the dash is used as a separator and various fink commands use it  
to parse version-revision strings. This becomes ambiguous if the  
revision (or version, for that matter) contains dashes.


OTOH, as far as I can tell, we do not properly specify the allowed  
values for "Revision" (at least  doesn't).



Hence we should

1) Decide whether we want to allow "-" in revision or not; in fact,  
decide what specifically we want to allow (only numbers? the same as  
in the name field? maybe only numbers? only numbers and  
underscores?... ?)


2) Document the outcome of this decision in the packaging manual.

3) Fix affected packages, if necessary.

Any opinions on this?

Bye,
Max

[Fink-devel] libtool file pointing to fink build dir

Can somebody remind me what the fix is when a .la file points to the
fink build directory?

I'm going to start a wiki page for validation errors and their fixes.

The whole thing looks quite promising to me -- good work so far! From  
the DB layout side, it seems to be mostly there now. I am not sure  
whether you expect me to comment on a specific thing?

Personally, the next thing I'd do would be to try to cleanup the  
branch -- remove obsolete files (or, in the case of maintainer.php  
etc., replace them with redirects to browse.php). That way it's  
easier for people not yet familiar with the PDB code to help out, as  
they don't have to first figure out which files are used and which  
are old leftovers.

Some specific points (partially from the TODO):

* Could you please clarify these TODOs a bit? What exactly is to be  
done, and for what reason?
- More than one pkg in a release
- Timestamp
- auto_increment of pkg_id vs. incremental update
- check for packages that need testing
- decide what to do with 'htdocs/pdb/db.inc.php' used in header.inc

* The user interface (esp. browse.php) still needs lots of polish,  
but of course this is clear to you, and it has rightfully been  
postponed till until after the infrastructure is complete

* The other points in the TODO seem to be postponable to me. (BTW, if  
it's possible w/o any headache, I'd keep the 10.1 release in there,  
but it's of course not required).



Bye,
Max
