[Fink-devel] PDB & 10.2

2002-10-16 Thread Max Horn
So the PDB right now still displays information for the old package tree. So, we will want it to display data for the 10.2 tree in the future. the question is only, how do we want to go about this: 1) simply show the 10.2 package list instead of the 10.1 packages That's the simplest solution

Re: [Fink-devel] PDB & 10.2

2002-10-16 Thread David R. Morrison
Let me suggest that if we are going to go for option 1, that the labels on the pdb web page make this clear, i.e., In 0.4.1-stable (10.1): In current-stable (10.2): In current-unstable (10.2): I also think that when we release 0.5.0, for some transition period we should include four lines

[Fink-devel] Syntax of DaemonicFile?

2002-10-16 Thread jfm
E.g., bind9-ssl doesn't work as is _ named never starts. This is because, in daemonic-bind9: if [ -x /sw/sbin/named -c /sw/etc/bind/named.conf -a -f /sw/etc/bind/named.conf ]; then # run the daemon /sw/sbin/named -c /sw/etc/bind/named.conf & fi Doesn't work (logical...):

[Fink-devel] bioperl and Suggests field

2002-10-16 Thread Jeremy Erwin
I was trying to install bioperl-pm-1.0.2-3-- one of those packages which seems to require every package under the sun. The *.info file has a Suggests line, but it does not mention file-temp-pm, xml-writer-pm, xml-twig-pm or stringy-pm, all of which seem to be desired by bioperl. So I added them
