[Fink-users] new gcc 3.3
If someone has the time i was wondering if they could explain to me what the new 3.3 gcc compiler is going to add to the fink/open source equation. Are we going to see any improvements in our compiling times/performance improvements in the applications we use, an easier job for our fink maintainers etc. Or is this release really just for G5 compatibility?

[Fink-users] Installing Debian packages on Fink?
Something that struk me yesterday was that in Debian there are a lot of packages that doesn't contain any binaries, like the ispell dictionaries, and it would be nice if those where available in fink too. My question now is how much work is it to port these non-binary packages to Fink in general? Or can one use dpkg --root=/sw --install package-directly-from-Debian.deb (or whatever is correct syntax) to install e.g. a ispell dictionary that isn't already available? Would the installation scripts in the packages work /in general/? I am aware that the possibility that there exists packages that have installation scripts that need some porting is strictly greater then zero. :-) I have no specific package in mind, it's the principle that interests me. -- ( http://hem.bredband.net/steverud!

However, the man is massive, and when I went to look for logging, it didn't seem (or I couldn't find) how to name the file, or open it once the logging has occurred... According to the man page (which certainly is intimidating the first few hundred times you see it; many pagers and man page viewers have search capabilities): -l Turn logging on. Normally logging is not supported, due to security concerns. Some ver- sions of xterm may have logging enabled. The log- file is written to the directory from which xterm is invoked. The filename is generated, of the form XtermLog.XX or Xterm.log.hostname..mm.dd.hh.mm.ss.XX depending on how xterm was built. Looks like security concerns win over logging. IIRC, too many passwords and private directory listings end up in the log files, and there might have been an issue where the log file can be hi-jacked in its entirety regardless of its permissions. xterm is a very old program, written back in the days when functioality was more important than security. Fink supports a handful of terminal programs (run fink apropos term; add rxvt to the list); perhaps one of them will do what you want. A hint for the truly brave: I'm sure the logging code is in the xterm source, it's just a matter of the right configuration to enable it HTH, Dan -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tombstonezero.net/dan/ An omer is a tenth of an ephah. -- Exodus 16:36. --- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.

My question now is how much work is it to port these non-binary packages to Fink in general? Careful here, ispell hash files are binary, and they are endian-specific. I don't know if there are other platform-dependent details, but a hash file from a i386.deb file certainly won't work on the ppc. You would at least need a ppc.deb. Or can one use dpkg --root=/sw --install package-directly-from-Debian.deb (or whatever is correct syntax) to install e.g. a ispell dictionary that isn't already available? There are more path differences between debian and OSX, for example debian puts the ispell *.hash and *.aff into /usr/lib/ispell/, whereas fink puts them directly into /sw/lib/. What you can do is unpack the deb file somewhere else (dpkg -x ispell*.deb /tmp/TMP) and copy the interesting files over. Would the installation scripts in the packages work /in general/? I wouldn't bet on it. -- Martin --- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.

[Fink-users] removal of programs
Hello and thank you for your help. My general question pertains to the removal of software. Let's assume that I have many things installed through FINK; to further this, let's also assume that I switched from stable to unstable to install gnucash. In doing this, to install gnucash, it must install dozens of dependencies. After going through all of this, if it so be decided to remove gnucash, how would one also remove the dependencies that it installed for gnucash? Does it do this automatically for you? Thanks again. -Anthony --- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.

Re: [Fink-users] removal of programs
No, you'll need to remove the packages manually. One thing you can do to help the process is to install the deborphan package, which can display library packages that aren't depended on. Another option, if you use Fink Commander, is to display the gnucash .info file, flag all the gnucash dependencies and then uninstall them. On Saturday, June 28, 2003, at 04:26 PM, Anthony M.

Re: [Fink-users] Re: msg#2; Unix log?
A question, just so I don't waste my time...If I do get this working, will this log UNIX commands and arguments sent by any application? Essentially, if lastcomm would log the arguments as well as the commands it would be perfect. I hope that my interpretation of what you mean by UNIX commands sent by any application is incorrect. What I think you mean is that applications like the Finder, when you tell them to do something they generate a magic UNIX command for what you want and send this command into the Terminal. If I do understand you correctly, then what you are looking for is futile. Applications communicate with the OS at a much lower level than the Terminal (or to be more specific, a lower level than the shell running in your terminal). As I said, hopefully I'm wrong. regards, crh -- Corey R.

Hi, Corey-- I'm not sure of where the commands are being sent, but a I said, lastcomm is catching them all, just minus the arguments.
