[Fink-devel] packages and xquartz 2.5.0
Firefox/gtk2 after the 3.6.x series won't build on OS X w/out disabling major functionality unless the system has xquartz 2.5.0 (at least on 10.5, I don't know what the situation is on 10.6). This is an issue with the old GL headers, which jeremyhu updated in 2.5.0. There is no word as to whether Apple will backport this fix into future releases of the system X11. Given that Fink policy right now is to use the system's X11, what can be done about this situation, assuming Apple doesn't update X11?

That would guarantee known versions of the components and would be safe from system updates. - -- Alexander Hansen Fink User Liaison -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkwfaJAACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ/ZQwCdHM5EOdQOetDgUROQql5pZ9s1 zMEAn2qWNMD0KUaQ11aVNuQbB9zYPAiy =7geX -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.

[Fink-devel] libjpeg-shlibs and libjpeg dependencies in your packages!
Hello Dave, Justin, Alexander, William,
I am sending you this e-mail to inform you that one or some of your packages
depend on libjpeg-shlibs and/or builddepend on libjpeg. I have seen
libjpeg-related crashes on various machines, most probably related to KDE or Qt
loading whatever jpeg library it can find, even if another one is already
loaded.
To fix this, please bump your libjpeg dependency to libjpeg8. By bumping to
libjpeg8, you also get a couple of build warning fixes from the old libjpeg
headers for free. If you want, I can do it for you and commit the package; I
will up the revision by one and keep you as maintainer. I of course want your
explicit permission before I do that. :)
The packages are as follows:
Dave Morrison: libtiff-{bin,shlibs}, imagemagick1-shlibs, libdjvulibre15-shlibs
Justin F. Hallett: libmng2-shlibs
Alexander Strange: libwmf-shlibs
William Scott: blt (for x86_64)
William, you are currently the maintainer of blt for x86_64, would you like to
take over maintainership of 'blt' for i386,powerpc and/or fix the same problem
there? If not, I will make the change and upload packages to unstable as soon
as another developer gives me the green light.
Thanks,
Sjors
PS: I still need testers for the new dpkg and apt! They can be found in my
experimental directory (/experimental/dazjorz/finkinfo). They are way more
up-to-date, more featureful, nicer, faster, and should work without problems,
but I need some more people to tell me they indeed do work without problems. :)

Re: [Fink-devel] libjpeg-shlibs and libjpeg dependencies in your packages!
Dear Sjors,
I'm not convinced that you have correctly diagnosed the crashes you have seen.
The shared libraries of libjpeg and libjpeg8 have different names, and the
dynamic linker cannot possibly confuse them. There is a remote possibility
that some other library is confusing symbols between libjpeg and libjpeg8,
but my understanding is that whatever symbols are in common between the
two are identical.
Fink's entire system was built on this important property of the OS X dynamic
linker: old versions of the library can stay around for things that need them,
even when newer versions of the library have been created. This works as
long as library maintainers follow the correct versioning rules, but -- as
indicated
above -- I've seen no evidence that the libjpeg/libjpeg8 transition violates
any versioning rules.
So, while it may be desirable to convert, there should be no urgency whatsover
about the conversion.
I strongly encourage you to investigate the "crashes" you are reporting
further, to determine their true cause.
Best regards,
Dave
P.S. Two of the packages of mine which you mention -- imagemagick1-shlibs and
libdjvulibre15-shlibs -- are in fact old (perhaps obsolete) versions of
packages which exist in newer versions in fink. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON
TO CHANGE OBSOLETE PACKAGES to use a different library.
