While trying to build nessus-ssl, I came across an interesting problem with libdnet. The root of the problem is 10.4-transitional/stable libdnet installs the shlibs as libdnet-shlibs and unstable installs them as libdnet1-shlibs with no provides, or other compatibility tags. So, when I have unst

[Fink-devel] dp/fink md5 mismatches

2004-11-29 Thread Rob Braun
One of the fringe benefits of having a unified Fink/DarwinPorts distfile fetching system is a comparison of MD5's for files listed in both projects. The fetching script complains when there is a mismatch in what the desired MD5 of the distfile is. I've mentioned this on IRC from time to time, but

[Fink-devel] fink using apt-get

2004-09-06 Thread Rob Braun
Something I have been toying with for a while now is fink being able to use apt-get-able packages. Sometimes when building something large, many of the dependency packages are already in a bindist somewhere, and I'd rather not build each and every one, just the packages newer than what is in the b

You're right, it probably should. What is currently in 0.17.1 should work with virtually all versions of rsync (as long as 'rsync' is really rsync). But, an explicit path is more reliable. Rob On Wed, Nov 19, 2003 at 10:35:20PM -0800, Ben Hines wrote: > Really fink should not be calling 'rsync'

It appears that xdvi is trying to call setsid() after vfork(). Just about the only valid thing to do after vfork() is exec(). I'll bet this is your problem. You may try examining xdvi's usage of setsid() after the vfork(). However, it looks like the parent is simply exiting after the vfork. In th
