Going the other way, we may want to add a perl5.12.3 to 10.[56] to help promote keeping the older dist's -pm packages updated as more developers switch to 10.7 as their primary target. dan On Thu, 21 Jul 2011 11:27:36 -0700, "David R. Morrison" wrote: OK. I just did a test build of our perl5

OK. I just did a test build of our perl5100 package and it failed, so needs work. So for now, we'll let things be, but if somebody wanted to work on perl 5.10.0 to bring it forward, they are welcome to do it. I'll follow the received advice and not bring perl 5.8.8 forward. -- Dave On Jul

In a discussion on irc this morning, there was a general consensus to bring Python 2.6 and 2.7 forward to 10.7, but not to bring Python 2.5 forward. I subsequently put the python26 and python27 packages into the 10.7 tree. What about perl? Should we bring perl 5.8.8 forward, or leave it out?

We don't *always* have to share files. In the case of xmkmf I plan to create different versions for the different trees. I'll probably put the Distribution labels there just to remind myself what they are intended for. -- Dave On Jul 21, 2011, at 10:09 AM, Jack Howarth wrote: > On Thu

2011-07-21 Thread David R. Morrison
Jack, Many of our package maintainers will now be faced with trying to maintain a package across several distributions, and in cases where there doesn't need to be a difference, the maintenance is easier if the foo.info files are identical. So generally, copying the same version, revision,

2011-07-21 Thread Jack Howarth
Some consensus should be arrived at on how revisions should be set in the 10.7 tree relative to 10.4-EOL/10.4(aka 10.5). For example, take the package foobar which in 10.4 may have... foobar.info with Version: 1.0 Revision: 1000 foobar-x86_64.info with Version: 1.0 Revision: 1001 Architect

[Fink-devel] options for dropping Type: -64bit in 10.7

2011-07-21 Thread Jack Howarth
Dave, Is it possible for us to drop "Type: -64bit" from 10.7, yet retain the ability to properly package 32-bit shared libraries? Perhaps since we no longer have to distinguish between a 32-bit package with 64-bit files and a 64-bit package with 32-bit files, this issue is easier to solve in fi
