[Fink-devel] PyGtk2 1.99.15 in package submission tracker
Hello, I have just uploaded an info file for PyGTK 1.99.15 for GTK+2 into the package submission tracker, URL here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/ ?func=detail&aid=693672&group_id=17203&atid=414256 (tracking number 693672). It mostly works - apart from OpenGL since it requires gtkglarea >= 2.0 and only 1.99 is in Fink, contacting the maintainer now; the IDE demo which requires gtk+extra (we only have the one for GTK+ 1.2 available) and if someone knows how to get Pango set-up properly under OS X/Fink I'd be grateful - the Pango demo works for all but the non-Roman characters.

[Fink-devel] Section 3.3 and Depend: on a -dev package
Hello developers, Masanori referred me to section 3.3 regarding this problem I have with building Gnome apps; basically headers are required to be contained in packages that are only in BuildDepends but not in Depends. The problem is that building some Gnome packages require a lot of dependencies: for example, with gtetrinet2, its dependencies include: - libgnomeui2-dev. libgnomeui2 depends on libbonoboui and any package depending on libgnomeui2-dev would in turn depend on libbonoboui-dev, but due to section 3.3 it would have to explicitly depend on libbonoboui-dev instead of the dependency being resolved by libgnomeui-dev - libgnomecanvas2-dev and libart2 - libgnome2-dev and gnome-vfs-dev | gnome-vfs-ssl-dev Some Gnome header files basically #include other header files, so they should be allow to depend on packages containing those header files - would it be possible to amend 3.3 to allow this?

He calls up his best friend, who is a mathematical genius. "Look," he says, "do you suppose you could find some way mathematically of guaranteeing winning at the race track? We could make a lot of money and retire and enjoy life." The mathematician thinks this over a bit and walks away mumbling to himself. A week later his friend drops by to ask the genius if he's had any success. The genius, looking a little bleary-eyed, replies, "Well, yes, actually I do have an idea, and I'm reasonably sure that it will work, but there a number of details to be figured out. After the second week the mathematician appears at his friend's house, looking quite a bit rumpled, and announces, "I think I've got it! I still have some of the theory to work out, but now I'm certain that I'm on the right track." At the end of the third week the mathematician wakes his friend by pounding on his door at three in the morning. He has dark circles under his eyes. His hair hasn't been combed for many days. He appears to be wearing the same clothes as the last time. He has several pencils sticking out from behind his ears and an almost maniacal expression on his face. "WE CAN DO IT!

Fink has advanced quite a bit since I left - KDE is finally ported, and Evolution etc. - wow! Thanks to Sylvain for taking over SWI Prolog too. Damn.. it's good to be back. Another 2-4 weeks until the new machine arrives... Has anything much changed on the technical/admin front?
