[Fink-devel] individual octave-forge packages
I have created info files for a few of the octave-forge packages and have placed them in a new package tracker on Fink sourceforge. I think this is the preferred way to go instead of maintaining the monolithic octave-forge fink package. The info files work for me, but I have done only minimal testing so far.

[Fink-devel] shared file between packages and octave-forge
What is the best way to work with a Fink installed file that is shared and modified by a set of different fink packages? I ran into this problem when I attempted to write separate .info files for each of the of the octave-forge packages (currently a monolithic package in Fink). Each package writes to a single file that tells Octave which packages are installed, typically /sw/share/octave/octave_packages. If I try to do so with my limited fink knowledge, I run into sandbox or file overwrite errors. Thanks, Jonathan - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

[Fink-devel] new fink package octaviz
I have added a fink package for octaviz to the sourceforge tracker. Any help with testing, etc. will be appreciated. I am still relatively new at this, and so I am sure the info file could benefit from revision. Regards, Jonathan P.S. I also added an updated vtkdata info file for 5.0.4. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Thanks for the diff, I'll look at it and update vtk-py correspondingly. I see that there is a second .cmake file that has the same problem, and I would like to understand the origin of the problem. I'd ideally prefer to prevent the crap from being dumped into these files rather than wiping them clean after the fact. So I'll do some more test before committing. Also after a first build that jsut finished, I notice that your patch script doesn't fix the problem for me, because %b doesn't match the string that is placed in that file. The reason is that I have /sw as a symlink to /sw_unstable, and %b uses /sw (the logical path), whereas the buggy file contains /sw_unstable (the physical path). So some more sophisticated patch script would be needed. It looks like this is fixed in vtk-5.0.4. If you were involved in the fix, thanks!

[Fink-devel] rebuild debugging
I would like to debug something in the InstallScript part of an .info file. I know that fink -k -K rebuild will rebuild the package and keep the build and root directories. This helps. However, I would prefer to not run the compile part every time since I am only debugging the install part and would like to save a lot of time. Is there a way to do this with a fink command or some other way? For example, with gentoo (which has many similarities to fink) it is possible with ebuild install.

The result of the perl script definitely resulted in an empty pkg list for me. Anyway, this is fixed now. (Minor detail: there is still credit for the perl script in the info file, but ther is no more perl script...) Second, the pkg prefixes specified causes some problems. Specifically, the pkg load/unload command stops working after octave-forge is installed. I have fixed both of these in the attached info file.

This is my 1st attempt to creating a package. The package validated fine. However, I'm still expecting some things may need correcting or improving. Is this intended to modify how octave builds? If so that's contrary to Fink policy unless a separate variant of octave is made to use it. Modify how Octave builds? hmmm, depends upon perspective (meaning I'm not sure). The presence of SuiteSparse doesn't modify how Octave builds any more than the packages for fftw, qhull, readline5, gnuplot, etc. Octave would build and function fine (except for the absent functionality) ... actually ... it *would* build and function if not for the dependencies stated in octave.info. There is no need to modify octave.info or octave.patch (names?) in order for SuiteSparse components to be included in Octave's functionality. When SuiteSparse is installed, Octave's usual configure process will recognize that SuiteSparse is available and produce a makefile that links to it. Ben It would require a modification to the octave package or a variant, then. Shall I send an email to Octave's maintainer? Although it is difficult to tell from Alex's terse response, I think he means that a modification to the Octave package in Fink will be needed, i.e. a change to the octave.info file. I am still new to Fink and don't understand the details myself, but it looks like some packages have variants: they are compiled against different libraries and are therefor different. Like you, I would argue that since fftw, qhull, hdf5 are not treated as variants, then suitesparse should not be treated as a variant either. Jonathan - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
