I can't comment on the wisdom of selecting any particular mirror set as the default, other than to note that for users not located in the US or EU, choosing "closest first" as the default mirror set (as I have) can sometimes make a large difference to fetch speeds. This is definitely the case in New Zealand (my location) where it makes a lot of sense to fetch something from a NZ-based mirror rather than pulling the bits halfway around the globe.

[Fink-devel] Problem with package logrotate-3.7.1-1
Hi all, Sending to the list as noone listed as maintainer for logrotate. Package apache2 depends on logrotate, but logrotate won't build, as its source tarball appears to have gone or moved URL. curl --connect-timeout 30 -f -L -A 'fink/0.34.2' -O http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/logrotate/logrotate_3.7.1.orig.tar.gz curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 ### execution of curl failed, exit code 22 Downloading the file "logrotate_3.7.1.orig.tar.gz" failed. Hopefully we can get this package fixed ASAP, as I see a bunch of people needing Fink's apache2 to replace the stripped-down apache provided with OS X / OS X Server 10.8 Regards, Phil. -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

[Fink-devel] Linker using static libs from fink package.
Hi all, I'm updating one of my fink packages (openvrml016) and I've run into an issue with the linker. I'm not sure if I'm missing something totally obvious here, so please bear with me if these is trivial to solve. Basically, the openvrml fink package links against a bunch of other fink packages, and some of these have static libs (.a) as well as dylibs. The build process appears to be pulling in the static libraries in preference to the dylibs. E.g. for freetype, it's linking to /sw/lib/freetype219/lib/libfreetype.a rather than /sw/lib/freetype219/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib. Given that the build process for openvrml is based on autoconf, I can't see any obvious error here, nor do I recall any simple way to force the linker to prefer dylibs, as I thought it did that already! One other point which is probably not relevant, is that in this case, I'm cross-compiling for i386 arch on an x86_64 host. Any tips gladly welcomed.

[Fink-devel] Should package put itself in conflicts?
Hi all, one more question which is ambiguous in the docs: The documentation states "If a package is listed in its own Conflicts, it will be (silently) removed from that list". However, many packages DO seem to put themselves into the Conflicts: field. E.g. version 1.0.1 of package foo might list Conflicts: foo (< 1.0.1-1). This would seem to be redundant, since the upgrading of a package would naturally remove the older version. So, under what circumstances should a package list itself on the Conflicts: line?

[Fink-devel] Tool to bundle-ize shlibs from fink
Hi all, This might seem like a sacreligious quesion to ask, but has anyone made a tool to automate the process of bundle-izing a given set of shlibs from a fink installation? By bundle-ize, I mean making a copy of a given library and all its dependencies that live in /sw, and rewriting (with install_name_tool) the install name of the libs and their connections with each other so that they hang off @executable_path/ instead of /sw/lib. I ask because it could be a really useful tool for developers.. you generate some libraries using Fink, and then bundle them (paying attention to the license terms of course) inside an application which can then be distributed without any dependence on fink. At the moment I'm doing this manually, but with two libraries with another 6 dependent libraries, its time consuming to repeat each time the libs change.

Technically speaking, you don't need to include the inherited dependencies. It's more a question of clarity and ease of maintenance. If you depend on indirect dependencies, your package can be broken by an update of libgnomeui2-shlibs, for example, on which you have no influence. Unless you Depend on a precise version of libgnomeui2-shlibs, which you usually don't want to, you would even have to make sure that there aren't other versions of that package around that lack some of your needed dependencies. Concerning BuildDepends, the inclusion of inherited dependencies is mandatory, as long as Fink's InheritedBuildDepends mechanism is still in the state of a nice dream. Martin, Thanks very much for your answer. It seems like this a real trap for maintainers.. especially when dependencies include complex stuff like GNOME. The documentation in this area doesn't really spell out what maintainers need to do, i.e. it should say something like: "When a package you are building has BuildDepends, you need to look into the .info file of each and every one of the packages that are depended upon, and add their BuildDepends to your BuildDepends line.

Re: [Fink-devel] What feature would you like to see in fink/Fink?
Personally, my one wish for Fink is better maintenance of FinkCommander. I would like to see some more of the Fink functionality moved into FinkCommander. I know FinkCommander is officially outside the Fink suite, but it shouldn't be. For anyone new to open source on the Mac, having a GUI in which he or she can browse available packages, read detailed info on each package, see what is installed, and manage various Fink tasks is absolutely invaluable. I know many of you are of the opinion that command line should be all you ever need, but for new users, operating fink from the command line is intimidating, imposes a steep learning curve, and masks a lot of great functionality that is in Fink and its tools. Specifically, I would like to see FinkCommander handle some of these tasks which I typically revert to the command line or manually grepping through the fink tree for: * Viewing dependencies and reverse dependencies of installed packages (i.e. apt-cache info) - this helps answer the questions users have like "why is this package installed when I only ever asked for package xyz to be installed" and "can I remove this asdfg package"? * Cleaning up obsolete sources and debs (used to work but broken with the new fink cleanup syntax) * Sending feedback.. more than just the "success" or "failure" reports, but including (at user's option) key system info (e.g. OS version, platform, environment etc) and build log. * Allowing viewing of other fields in the package .info file (currently shows only DescDetail), such as DescPort, and DescPackaging, which almost always contain key info on what is actually in the package (e.g. what features will be configured and what features will not). * Ability to report which package installed a given file or directory in /sw (or wherever) - one of the dpkg or apt commands, but I can't remember which. * Updated binary of FinkCommander.. I have contacted the maintainters offering to build a binary from the current cvs (which fixes several bugs that are in the 0.5.4 binary release). * Provide a mechanism for installing info and patch files into the local tree, for testing. It would help speed up the package tracker a lot if there was a simple GUI-mediated mechanism for users to download .info and .patch files from the tracker and testing them. In short, it is scandalous that such a key tool in the Fink suite has been neglected. I would venture that 99% of new Fink users depend in some way on FinkCommander, and I think more attention needs to be paid to its upkeep. If the previous authors aren't interested, then they could at least turn over cvs write access to someone who is. Regards, Phil. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Fink-devel] FinkCommander breakage
I just updated to Fink 0.25.0, and it appears that FinkCommander no longer knows how to deal with the database of installed and available packages. For example, after updating or removing a package, FinkCommander still lists the old package as installed. It appears that a 'fink index' and/or 'fink cleanup --sources' is required in order for FC to grok the status. Also, despite the fact that fixes for the FinkCommander v0.54 version- checking bug, and Universal Binary fixes have been in the FC cvs for several months, the release available for download on sourceforge is still a powerpc-only, buggy version. I emailed the maintainers some time ago, even offering to package a fresh build, but got no response. For pretty much anyone who isn't a fink maintainter, FinkCommander is an essential tool. If you all want to keep Fink as a tool which non- developers find useful, a GUI is essential, but FinkCommander is really looking a bit sad. Phil. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

According to Matt Sach's buildfink output, it built successfully on i386 (http://fink.opendarwin.org/build/2006-03-09/i386/out/ successes.html).

[Fink-devel] gzip version
Hi all, Any particular reason why Fink's gzip is at v1.2.4 (18 Aug 93) while OS X's gzip is at v1.3.5? Regards, Phil. --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Looks like http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-fink.php#ext-drive Tracked down the cause; a dodgy update of netinfo had scrubbed the local user "nobody". I guess this is the first version of fink to actually run this particular test, since the user had been missing for some time (causing other strange OSX issues too).

Re: [Fink-devel] Binary Installer (0.8.0) not very usable on a non-dev system
Wouldn't a better solution just be to make sure that cctools is listed as a BuildDepends for every package that needs the compiler, etc. to build (not sure whether there would be many exceptions to this!), and as a Depends: for the few packages that need things like make in their postinstall phase (scilab has already been mentioned.) The other problem.. fink not being able to do a selfupdate would also be solved this way.. make fink BuildDepends: cctools.

[Fink-devel] Developer access for committing info files
Hi all, A quick question as to what the criteria are for giving a developer access to commit info files to the fink repository. I maintain a couple of fink packages. I would like to be able to move these to -stable, and to add updated versions to -unstable. I have several more that I use locally, and would add to fink except that I know that they will languish in the tracker, for want of someone to look at them. How many people on the fink project have access to move info files into the cvs repository? Judging by the number of packages in the tracker with group "undergoing validation" it seems that there are too few.

[Fink-devel] 10.4 tree
Hi all, Can anyone illuminate a little as to what the current strategy is for implementation of a 10.4 tree? Obviously we have 10.4-transitional using g++-3.3, but how is Fink going to enforce a complete rebuild of c++-based packages for users under 10.4? Another issue is that we will potentially have packages which cannot link to anything pre gcc4.. but how will these packages be able to specify this in the requirements? The epoch field??

[Fink-devel] Re: Shared-Lib Package Naming Question
My updated solution to this problem is to create 2 different shlib splitoffs, with different version numbers.. this appears to be what the openvrml project actually does for their .rpm packages. Why the upstream package has two shared libraries with intimately-linked functionality with different version numbers is beyond me, oh well. So now I'm waiting for the openvrml package to be moved into -unstable by someone with the authority to do that. I hope someone can find time, as we have other projects here which are depending on openvrml being available in fink before we can release. Hopefully the results of this will be more packages for fink... On a related note, is it just me or are there issues at the moment with getting submitted packages into the unstable tree in a timely fashion? I understand the contraints on the time of the core fink team, I'm just wondering if the bar over which packages have to leap to be accepted into -unstable is a bit too high. Provided a package has been validated and builds ok for the maintainer, shouldn't the job of installing and testing be done by the fink community at large through the -unstable tree, rather than depending on the scarce resources of the core fink team? Regards, Phil. Got a packge in submissions-tracker that supplies two related shared libraries. Tricky part is that they have different major-lib and compatibility versions. As submitted, openvrml-shlibs declares: Shlibs: << %p/lib/libopenvrml.4.dylib 5.0.0 %n (>= 0.14.3-1) %p/lib/libopenvrml-gl.5.dylib 6.0.0 %n (>= 0.14.3-1) << But how to get this to follow Shared Library policy with a lib version number in the package name? Or should there be two splitoff packages, one for each lib (openvrml4-shlibs and openvrml-gl5-shlibs)? dan -- Philip Lamb Research Student, Human Interface Technology Laboratory New Zealand, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, NZ. +64 3 3642987 x3070 --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: InterSystems CACHE FREE OODBMS DOWNLOAD - A multidimensional database that combines robust object and relational technologies, making it a perfect match for Java, C++,COM, XML, ODBC and JDBC. www.intersystems.com/match8 ___ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
