Re: [Fink-devel] unacceptable behavior

2010-05-02 Thread Peter O'Gorman
Hi,

Jack, I am sure that Jean-Francois was trying to be helpful, and was doing a 
task that I basically asked him to do, as I did not feel that I had the time 
for it. I do however understand your reaction, you have good reason to be wary, 
but he was only taking over ownership of the ticket, not the package.

As for effort, I don't know if the rest of the people on this list know quite 
how much effort you have put into GCC. It's pretty simple - without Jack's 
efforts* it is extremely likely that gcc-4.5 would not work on Mac OS X. There 
would be no argument about packaging the damn thing for Fink, there would be 
nothing worth packaging. Jack has put in more time and effort to the GCC 
project than I have ever put into an unpaid project.

Should Jack have commit to Fink's CVS?
My honest opinion is yes, but I think he'd either have to be restricted by 
technical means (cvs acls?) to committing to only his packages, or he could be 
asked to make that commitment himself. Even that restriction should be removed 
after some period, so that he can be in an equal position to other maintainers 
with commit privileges. Every probationary period must have some end. I am 
lucky, however, in that I don't get to make that decision.

I was ready to commit whatever package Jack had last time I looked at it, but 
Jack decided to look again to see if he could have the various GCC packages 
installable simultaneously, and asked me to wait. This is not the action of 
some irresponsible maintainer who cares little for users having to rebuild a 
huge package again and again.

Jack, I see from the ticket that Jean-Francois offered to do the 
update-alternatives work for you if you wanted, personally, I would have taken 
that offer :-)

Also, remember that you are not being forced into doing anything, I am 
confident that Jean-Francois would accept and test any package that you declare 
final, even if you decide to disregard his advice. Similarly, I am sure that he 
would commit any such GCC package that is not obviously broken or worse than 
current GCC packages. He's only trying to help and offer advice - just as I 
asked him to do, he deserves no part of any blame here.

Thanks,
Peter

*  Ok, so others worked on it too, including Iain and Dominique, but I think 
it'd be a pretty sad compiler without Jack.

Dave,
   All this all still comes back to the fact that I no
longer have commit access. My original packaging from
earlier today provided the info files in the conflicting
gcc4x packages under the original names. I have wasted
an entire evening attempting into implement the requested
approach of installing these info files into %p/lib/gcc4.x/info
(to be contained in the gcc4x-compiler package) and then providing
them at %p/share/info via update-alternative in the gcc4x package
only to discover that we will also have to manually call
install-info from the post install script in order to index them.
These hurculean efforts being demanded for the info files is
both absurd and extremely annoying. It is nice to know that
my time is valued so little.
Jack

Yeah, I tried that. I am trying to install gnome-python2-py26, and  
manually installed all of it's dependencies. And now it's moving  
forward.

Max,
  Okay. I read them out of order then. At first I was uncertain from the message
in the gcc44-4.4.4-1000 entry, but coupled with the interest in maintainership
shown in the message in the gcc45-4.5.0-1000 and the impact of your telling
me that I'll get back commit access when I prove myself... you do the math.
It appears that some maintainers are expected to take far more crap than others.

The "taking over" is usual jargon when somebody assigns a ticket to himself, to 
mark the event. I.e. JFM has taken over responsibility for handling your 
submission ticker, and thus declared that he will work with you on getting this 
into Fink. Or, even more bluntly, he promised to spend his spare time to help 
you.

He is in particular nor "taking over" your *package*.

Max

Jack,

If you read the *previous* comment, which JF made, you will see that  
he was talking about taking over as the fink committer who was  
helping to evaluate your package.  Taking over from Peter O'Gorman,  
in fact, not from you.

Jack, I have no idea what is going on between you / JFM / gcc4x right now (just 
returned from a trip, and have not yet caught up with any CVS logs, so I cannot 
comment on that). Let me just say this: If anybody does something bad, that 
will not go unnoticed, no matter whether it is me, JFM, or you. Whether *you* 
regain your commit bit is independent of whether we take away /return the 
commit bit of any other person. If JFM did something wrong (once again, I have 
no idea yet whether that is the case or not), it'll be looked into.

However, please note that (a) I was not asking you to "prove yourself", and (b) 
your email and tone certainly do not help you regain that bit. Please try to 
play with the team; if others in the team kick you where it hurts, rest assured 
that you will receive the same protection from that as everybody else.

Dave is one of several project leads, and not a dictator or single leader of 
the project, so he he is neither required to supposed to "exert control" over 
every single individual :-).

[Fink-devel] unacceptable behavior

2010-05-02 Thread Jack Howarth
   Can someone explain to me at what point did it
become acceptable behavior here to make random
package grabs when another developer has a
disagreement over packaging. After spending
literally months upstream submitting patches
and testresults to keep the FSF gcc 4.5 release
in decent shape on fink, it is obscence that someone
thinks nothing of grabbing the package grab
over documentation issues.
   I should have known better than expect any
different behaviors here than I have been subjected
to in the past. Trully disgraceful.

Max,
   No need to worry about that since JF Mertens 
just unilaterally seized control of the gcc4x
packages because he doesn't agree with the info
packaging approach.  And *I* am the one who
has to prove myself to *you*? I should have known
better than to expect the behaviors to improve
around here. David Morrison is MIA in exerting
any level of control here.

Hi Jack,

no worries, we still have plenty of people to take care of checkins for you, 
although you may have to wait a couple days at time. 

And rest assured that we are aware of your contributions and that we will

What Dan Macks suggested solved completely this issue,
and \emph{simplified} the pkg !
(And you could still add if you want a profile.d script
that adds to INFOPATH the info dir of the currently
installed gcc4X pkg _ or let that pkg install symlinks
in %p/share/info)

JF,
   You should take a look at what Debian unstable
currently does. A glance at their packaging shows
that only the default system compiler has the
info files under their original names (in
gcc-4.3-doc) and that the other versions of
gcc have the -4.x suffix added in their gcc-4.x-doc
packages. They also seem to be bundling together their
own gcc-4.x doc tarballs and crafting their own
Makefiles. 
If we had the resources that Debian has, it
would be one thing, but there are rational limits
to what we can achieve here considering that the
fink developer pool seems to be shrinking.
Jack
ps Look at...

http://packages.debian.org/sid/gcc-4.2-doc
http://packages.debian.org/sid/gcc-4.3-doc

I notice that they don't even have a gcc-4.4-doc
package to go with their gcc-4.4 package.

Not identical, but close enough to dmacks' failure
on 10.4 ppc.
Maybe libffi needs an Arch restriction rather than a
Distribution restriction..
Would still need some evidence of building well
on 10.4 intel, and of failing on 10.6 ppc ...

Koen, in the meantime could you check that
libffi-3.0.5.info yields correct self-tests for you ?

No, that fails.

As well as 'fink -l -m --build-as-nobody rebuild libffi'


Just a 'fink rebuild libffi' works fine.

Just wanted you to give some serious consideration to dmacks's  
suggestion,
and maybe discuss it (privately) with him.
It IS important that info pages be correctly linked.
