Any idea why the path is hardcoded into the test? Hardcoded paths are a good thing in my opinion for a couple of reasons: a) Security - Fink runs everything as root. It is long established practice that root scripts should use hard coded paths. I want to know that the standard /bin/test is being run, not some other script called "test" that I might have in my path. b) Compatibility - Different versions of executables can have slightly different behaviour. For instance, I had a problem in one of my packages where the build was failing if the user had the fink version of makeinfo, whereas /usr/bin/makeinfo worked fine. By hard coding the path, I knew it would work for anyone. c) Consistency - Fink has a policy that a binary package should be the same no matter which machine it was built on. (eg packages do not use G5 optimisations on a G5) If you don't hard code paths, the binary package could be subtly different depending on the users path.

Blank lines, and leading white space are correctly handled anyway. Luckily, Mac BSD seems to ignore the leading space in the first line of a script (i.e., " #!/bin/sh"). It's not really correct to write that, however; 'file' will report the script as only "ASCII text". We should probably remove the whitespace in that line when dumping to the tempfile. Also, what about if a *Script has blank lines at the beginning? InstallScript: << #!/bin/bash -ex ... << The existing leading-whitespace regex, though mis-commented, has the effect of removing these. Actually by the time the script gets here, all leading blank lines have been stripped (apart from a leading '\n' character). The second regex deletes this '\n' and any whitespace before the "#!". The first regex only deletes trailing blank lines.
[Fink-devel] Folding long lines in scripts
In writing the InstallScript for a new package I wanted to be able to
fold long lines, to make it more readable. ie. have:
/usr/bin/install -m 755 -d %i/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install
/usr/bin/install -m 755 common/fink/emacsen-install \
%i/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/%n
Instead of:
/usr/bin/install -m 755 -d %i/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install
/usr/bin/install -m 755 common/fink/emacsen-install
%i/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/%n
I discovered that fink did not like this. If I add a "#!/bin/sh" to the
first line, it saves the script to a file, and then runs it through
/bin/sh which works, but I don't get to see the individual commands as
they are run.
So I poked around in Services.pm and added code to Unfold multiline
commands. It's a simple one line addition in execute_script
While I was there, I found the following 2 lines at the top of
execute_script:
$script =~ s/[\r\n]+$//s;# Remove empty lines
$script =~ s/^\s*//; # Remove white spaces from the
start of each line
Neither of these lines works. The first one only deletes blank lines at
the end of the script, while the second only removes white space from
the first line.
I fixed these by changing them to:
$script =~ s/([\r\n])[\r\n]*/${1}/g; # Remove empty lines
$script =~ s/^\s*//mg; # Remove white spaces from the
start of each line
But then after thinking about it, I'm not sure these should be done
anyway.
These lines are executed before we have decided whether to execute line
by line, or whether to save to a file and run through external command.
What if the script was a python script? By removing leading white space
we would be changing the code, and break the script. So I decided to
just remove them. However the I had to tweak the check for "#!" to
allow white space before, in order to be backwards compatible.
So, I just deleted them. Blank lines, and leading white space are
correctly handled anyway.
Attached is a patch that adds the line folding, and removes these
broken lines.
So what do you think? Any problems with it? Can someone add it?
Thanks

No byte compiled .elc files are installed (they should be compiled during postInst by /sw/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/ script) The code has a couple of special cases, because emacsen-common and emacs/xemacs themselves are allowed to do these things.

Re: [Fink-devel] python modules do not comply with policy
On Thursday, April 3, 2003, at 11:50 AM, David R. Morrison wrote: The problem with perl is similar, but not identical. Many perl modules work just fine with all versions of perl, and those don't necessarily need to be segregated from each other. Once I get the bindist out the door, I plan to work on getting multiple versions of perl coexisting with fink. For perl modules that *do* require separate compiles for each perl version, this is going to introduce the same headache we are now discussing with python. Emacs packages have a similar problem. With multiple emacs flavours installed, the .el files have to be byte compiled for each flavour. For the full details of how it works, have a look in /sw/share/doc/emacsen-common/debian-emacs-policy For Perl and Python, a similar approach could be used. For instance, with python, we could have the following directory structure: /sw/share/python/site-packages /sw/share/python2.2/site-packages /sw/share/python2.3/site-packages .py files get installed into /sw/lib/python/site-packages, and then compiled for each flavour of python and the resulting .pyc and .pyo files put into /sw/lib//site-packages Each flavour of python would be modified to include /sw/lib//site-packages in its path. A package called python-common would be created. It would provide scripts: /sw/lib/python-common/python-package-install /sw/lib/python-common/python-package-remove A python package "foo" must call /sw/lib/python-common/python-package-install foo in the postinst and /sw/lib/python-common/python-package-remove foo in the prerm These scripts call the package provided install/remove scripts in /sw/lib/python-common/packages/install/ /sw/lib/python-common/packages/remove/ which are responsible for doing the byte compiling on install and removing the byte compiled files on remove. These scripts are called both when a package is installed/removed and when a flavour is installed/removed. See the debian-policy for details.

[Fink-devel] Emacs Package policy
I have a few questions about the policy for Emacs Packages. I have read /sw/share/doc/emacsen-common/debian-emacs-policy, and my understanding is that a package "foo" should do the following: Install Phase should: place .el files in %i/share/emacs/site-lisp/%n place install script in %i/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/%n place remove script in %i/lib/emacsen-common/packages/remove/%n optionally place startup file in %i/etc/emacs/site-start.d/50%n.el PostInstScript: %p/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-package-install %n PreRmScript:%p/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-package-remove %n The install script gets called once for each flavor of emacs installed (emacs20, emacs21, xemacs21, ...) and should byte compile the .el files and put .elc files in %p/share//site-lisp/%n The remove script also gets called once for each flavor and should remove the byte compiled files for that flavor. So some general questions are: 1. Existing packages seem to put all .el and .elc files in %p/share/emacs/site-lisp without creating a subdir. Is this because of lack of understanding, laziness, fink policy is different to debian, my misunderstanding, other? 2. Does anyone ever actually install different flavors of emacs at once? Is the debian policy overengineered, and the simple approach of putting everything in site-lisp is sufficient? 3. By default subdirs of %p/share//site-lisp get added to the load-path (because of sub-dirs.el) but subdirs of %p/share/emacs/site-lisp do not. If all files are byte compiled into the flavour specific directory, then this should be OK. But it is potentially confusing, if a user modifies a file in %p/share/emacs/site-lisp/foo and wonders why it doesn't get loaded. Is this the way it's supposed to be? 4. What sort of stuff should go into the startup file? My feeling is that we should be aiming for packages to work 'out of the box' so required things like file mappings, load-path and autoloads should go in there. Other optional configurations should be mentioned in UserDesc and users add to their .emacs if they want them. Other packages I've looked at seem to require at least some manual configuration after installing. 5. Am I being to pedantic and expecting too much? I'm putting together packages for python-mode, elib, eieio, speedbar, semantic and jde, and have a few specific questions: 6. python-mode is a nosource package that just grabs python-mode.el from the python package and installs it. The python package says the License is OSI-approved. The top of the python-mode.el has > ;;; python-mode.el --- Major mode for editing Python programs > > ;; Copyright (C) 1992,1993,1994 Tim Peters > > ;; Author: 1995-2001 Barry A.

just complain about missing packages I'm willing to get in there and
add them myself.
I thought I'd start off on something simple, so I've written a package

with python. The script just depends on both emacs and python and makes
it usable by installing it in /sw/etc/share/emacs/site-lisp

Does that look right? I tested it out with "fink install python-mode"
and it seems to work fine.
So how do I get this into Fink?
Do I sign up as a core developer? How?
Do I submit it to the Package Submission Tracker?
Thanks
