[Fink-devel] gnome mirrors

There is a user who wrote to fink-beginners with a problem doing gnome downloads. We have in PkgVersion.pm a definition of Source:gnome as mirror:gnome:stable/sources/%n/%n-%v.tar.gz If I go to ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME, though, this is NOT the layout. Instead, for that site we would nee

[Fink-devel] CustomMirror: thought

How about adding a feature to CustomMirror that indicates that the mirrors should *always* be tried in the order they are mentioned in the .info file? This would trivially fix the rsync related issue. In the same vein, an option to cause Fink to automatically try the next mirror until all m

Re: [Fink-devel] gnome mirrors - works for me

Hmmm... using a browser I went to ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/stable/latest/sources and what I see there is a bunch of files %n-%v.tar.gz, and no directories %n. On the other hand (and I didn't try this before) if I directly request %n/%n-%v.tar.gz using wget or curl, I do get the file. In

Re: [Fink-devel] [ANN] My experiences with Apple

I've never seen developers and maintainers get so badly reamed on a community project before.  If it's not users saying "fink sucks" because they forgot to do something like sudo, it's Apple with a "Think Different" minimum-age-clause.  Looks like corporate *and* user base culture-shock against

While I completly feel with Finlay, let's please not discuss this matter here, there are other places better suited for this out there. Darwin-dev already got majorily swamped by this thread, and we don't have to restart the whole thing here =) Cheers, Max -- ---

I just wanted to applaud Finlay on how he this. Some people would have ranted on about how apple should be more like other open source projects. I don't think he posted the article on sourceforge (although I could be wrong), and it looks like he actually corrected it. Anyway I am glad we have deve

[Fink-devel] libwww-pm-5.64-2 build failure

Hullo... At the bottom of this email I've pasted a clipping from my build log, beginning with the line "make test", where the failure occurs. I duplicate this by plugging my iBook into ethernet at work, then unplugging it and using airport with dhcp-served addresses in 10.1.x.x (with no associa

[Fink-devel] FYI: for users of unstable QT 3.0.1-2 through 3.0.2-4

I have just inherited QT, so please bear with me, I don't know some of the specifics. As I am told, the unstable QT 3.0.1-2 through 3.0.2-4 packages had a dylib bug in them that will cause upgrades to the latest package to fail. If you are having problems building the latest (3.0.2-5), you may n
