[Fink-users] XDarwin question
I recently moved over to the rootless server (Thanks everyone for the help btw.) and I tried using rootless mode, and I decided to go back to rooted. However what I would *really* like is to be able to change rooted/rootless on the fly. Is this at all feasible, or does something about how XFree86/XDarwin works make this all but impossible? If it is feasible, is any work being done on it? - Nicholas Robbins _ "A Freudian slip is when you say one thing but mean your mother." -Anon. _ ___ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
Re: [Fink-users] update-all question
Well, thanks for clearing it up. So basically, over time some packages grow and/or outsource their functionality. I do have a free couple days, and ample hd space. - Nicholas Robbins __ "Liverpool can be a lonely place on a Saturday night, and it's only Thursday morning." -Ringo Starr (Yellow Submarine) __ ___ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
Re: [Fink-users] update-all question
Ok, what I still don't understand is: I am not adding
anything, just updating, so why did my already installed
packages now need 45 new things? It looks like 20 of them
are splitings of packages I already have, like esound and
gimp, so those I understand. But why do I need 25 new
packages? I just updated. I already had gimp, esound,
xemacs, xfree86 installed, so shouldn't all of their
dependencies be installed as well?

[Fink-users] update-all question
Ok, I have another question. I wanted to see what would be updated if I did an update-all, so I did one while not on the internet (knowing it would attempt to d/l stuff and so nothing would actually happen.) This is what I got: pleonasm,[~],2:59pm:fink update-all sudo /sw/bin/fink update-all Reading package info... Information about 435 packages read in 15 seconds. fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency. The candidates: (1) python: Interpreted, interactive, object-oriented language. (2) python-nox: Interpreted, object-oriented prog. language, no X11 support Pick one: [1] 1 fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency. The candidates: (1) gnome-vfs: The GNOME virtual file-system libraries (2) gnome-vfs-ssl: The GNOME virtual file-system libraries, with SSL support Pick one: [1] 1 The following 31 packages will be installed or updated: app-defaults audiofile dlcompat esound freeciv freetype2 fvwm-common fvwm2-no-gnome gdbm gdk-pixbuf ghostscript-fonts gimp gnome-libs gtk+ gv hyperref libpng libstroke libtiff libxml2 netpbm pdftex pwm readline tetex-base transfig x-ghostscript-fonts xchat xemacs-sumo-pkg xfree86-base zlib The following 45 additional packages will be installed: aalib aalib-bin aalib-shlibs audiofile-bin audiofile-shlibs bonobo control-center db3 db3-shlibs esound-bin esound-common esound-shlibs expat freetype2-shlibs gal19 gal19-shlibs gconf gdbm-shlibs gdk-pixbuf-shlibs glibwww gmp gmp-shlibs gnome-core gnome-print gnome-vfs gtkhtml guile libglade libmpeg libmpeg-shlibs libpng-shlibs libstroke-shlibs libtiff-bin libtiff-shlibs libxml manconf netpbm-bin netpbm-shlibs oaf popt python readline-shlibs scrollkeeper tcltk xfontpath Do you want to continue? [Y/n]n That seems like a lot of 'additional packages' to me. What's going on? Are some of the new packages just old packages being broken up into -shlibs and -bin subpackages? For example are "gnome-core gnome-print gnome-vfs" all just "gnome-libs" ? Also I only see an xfree86-base update and nothing to indicate the new rootless server replacing my old rooted server. Will I have to do a fink remove xfree86-server and then fink install xfree86-rootless to get the new server? - Nicholas Robbins ___ "A professor is one who talks in someone else's sleep." -W.H.

[Fink-users] tetex-base update problem
I updated to fink 0.4.0 and went to update a few things that I needed immediately before I have time to do an update-all. One of these was tetex.

[Fink-users] X question
I am currently using fink 0.3.2a and X version 4.1.0 from package xfree86-server version 4.1.0-5 and xfree86-base 4.1.0-8. I was planning on updating fink to 0.4.0 and I see that there is no longer a xfree86-server package, but it has been rolled into xfree86-rootless, which is fine by me. I want the rootless server.
