Re: [Fink-devel] Update to your Fink package cscope

Hanspeter, I'll try to attend to this tonight. I must first obtain a Mac with OS X 10.7. It has been some time since I've worked with Fink, so this may not go smoothly. Kaben On Mon, Jan 30, 2012 at 1:21 PM, Hanspeter Niederstrasser wrote: > Kaben, > > A user has raised interest in having your pa

Re: [Fink-devel] fink run *not* as root

NetBSD, for example, becomes root at the install phase, requesting a password at that time, and can be rigged to use su or sudo. So this is not unheard-of in package managers (and can be very convenient). --- This SF.net email is sponsored by

Suppose fink packages optionally use fields 'BuildRequiresRoot' or 'InstallRequiresRoot'? Then fink could choose to require running as root, and inform the user at the start when building / installing a package requires root privs. (Depend checks would determine whether any depends require root

[Fink-devel] resolving conflict between -py22 and -py23 packages

2003-07-29 Thread Kaben Nanlohy
Hi; Both of Andrea Riciputi and Kow Kuroda have noted that the packages pyobjc-py22 and pyobjc-py23 explicitly 'Conflict' with each other. I responded that I meant to do that. The packages would refuse to install at the same time anyway, and I thought that marking them as Conflicting would give

Dear fink; Version 1.0b1 of pyobjc-py22 and -py23 has been stuck in the fink package submission tracker for some time. Would someone at fink consider reviewing it? The availability of pyobjc 1.0b1 was announced by Apple in their ADC news item of 12 July, and I'm starting to feel a little embarr

Add a new optional field "Patch-MD5". If this field is present then refuse to use the .patch unless its md5sum matches. If the field isn't present then always use the provided .patch. This wouldn't help you match the .patch file to the .info file, but it would prevent problems like the one you
