/usr/X11R6


We get people every so often who have problems with the X11 virtual
packages due to a missing /usr/X11R6 -> /usr/X11 compatibility
symlink.  Even though it's not hard to have them set up one symlink, I
think they shouldn't necessarily have to.

Personally, I'd favor dispensing with /usr/X11R6 altogether in the
fink perlmodules and init.(c)sh and use /usr/X11 instead, since
there's no reason Fink should need that symlink to function.   Most
packages that use /usr/X11R6 in e.g. their ConfigureParams, true, but
that could be remedied.

This would make backporting to 10.4-EOL more difficult, admittedly.

Any thoughts?

Build problems with ipython-0.8.2-2


The original post was for 10.6.8/x86_64, but the problems apply to any
configuration using the 10.4 tree.

1)  The Source-MD5 no longer matches.
2)  The build has changed.

A) (after correcting the Source-MD5)

Writing
/sw/src/fink.build/root-ipython-py27-0.8.2-2/sw/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ipython-0.8.2-py2.7.egg-info

 mv
/sw/src/fink.build/root-ipython-py27-0.8.2-2/sw/share/doc/ipython{,-py2.7}
mv: rename
/sw/src/fink.build/root-ipython-py27-0.8.2-2/sw/share/doc/ipython to
/sw/src/fink.build/root-ipython-py27-0.8.2-2/sw/share/doc/ipython-py2.7:
No such file or directory
There is, however, a
/sw/src/fink.build/root-ipython-py27-0.8.2-2/sw/share/doc/ipython-0.8.2

B) (after correcting the above)

GDL dependency on qhull via plplot broken

: GDL dependency on qhull via plplot broken

From: Robert Chatfield <robert.b.chatfield <at> nasa.gov>

Date: February 6, 2012 11:32:41 AM PST

To: Sebastien Maret <bmaret <at> users.sourceforge.net>

Cc: Stefan Langerman <dev <at> slef.org>, fink-devel <at> sourceforge.net

Hello, Sebastien.

It looks as if there is a fairly easy fix that will allow gdl to continue

to work well.

However, someone will probably need to put in qhull5 or qhull6

to the plplot libary system, since qhull is no longer supported ...

(also I don't see a maintainer for the plplot routines ... see later attached quote

below)

libplplot10-shlibs

(If one "simply" needs a modestly robust, free plotting capability,

these exist. R (cran-r) can do anything that IDL can, although that would

be a bit much to shape to GDL's needs. In fact, I have a Mickey-Mouse

system to take IDL save-files over to R via NetCDF.)

Thanks, Bob C

PS: if you have also gone to MacPorts for an environment, please let me

know. I do understand Stefan Langerman's move, but MacPorts is a bit more

power (and attention) than I need. Bob C

Sorry, I have stopped maintaining the qhull fink package some time ago
(using macports these days and I haven't needed qhull lately).
Feel free to take over if you wish to.
Stefan.

In any case, "qhull" no longer appears from fink or FinkCommander.

Hope that this gets worked out fairly soon.

I have no idea if qhull5 or qhull6 could be substituted

into the correct place.

(I've been trying to get in plplot which is needed for

the package gdl.)

Hey, have a good weekend and I hope there just might

be some time for you soon. It _looks_ so simple (smile

Fink's "zope" package

The "zope" package is a fairly old version and it does not install (errors during PostInst). It uses a
nonstandard packaging game, which I just corrected. But that just makes the failure that much more
obvious (crashes during package building rather than deferring the crash until installation). 

The package is an old version, which has not had security upgrades in many years. There are newer versions,
but I don't know anything about this package itself nor do I use it. Thus, I'll deleting it from fink for now.
Someone feel free to revive it with upgrades. 

That also means zannot ("Annotea extension for Zope Server") had to be deleted for now. That package also
looks fairly old, and does similar "makes sense on Debian, but fink isn't Debian" python packaging
things. If someone revives zope, also consider reviving zannot (assuming it is still compatible with the
new zope).

libkpathsea6-6.0.0-1 (or -100) fails deb validation on 10.6/* and 10.7

Trying to build libkpathsea6 today fails package validation on 10.6/* 
and 10.7.  This is the error on all platforms:

Validating .deb dir /sw/build.build/root-libkpathsea6-6.0.0-100...
Error: File installed outside of allowable subdirectories of /sw

And this is the system information:

Trees: local/main stable/main unstable/main local/nieder/10.4/main 
local/nieder/3rdparty/main
Xcode: 3.2.6
Max. Fink build jobs:  4

Obviously the arch and Dist change, but they're all running the same 
fink version (0.32.2).  This package was able to build on 10.6/i386 as 
of January 23, 2012 (the most recent deb I have for it), so I'm guessing 
it's fallout from the automatic xz unpacking?

www.finkproject.org


The page looks a little lopsided:

The News section is the whole left hand column and takes up less than
one screen, but the right hand column contains the Package Updates,
Status, and Resources.

My thought is:

1)  Move the Status under the News

2)  Extend the Recent Package Updates to be the same length as the News.

Since the Status and Resources sections are of comparable length, this
should provide a nicer appearance.

Either that, or we could install a CMS (e.g. via apt-get on phinch)
and stop doing formatting by hand.

Install fails for r-base214 (and maybe the earlier R as well)

Baba,

There are two problems that make r-base214 fail to install when using 
'-m --build-as-nobody'.

The first is a permissions failure that is caused by setting 555 to 
Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library.  During the SplitOff 
generation test, permission is denied to write into that folder in the 
new splitoff.

The second failure occurs when the lib/pkgconfig directory is installed 
and the deb validated:

Validating .deb dir /sw/build.build/root-r-base214-2.14.0-1...
Error: File installed outside of allowable subdirectories of /sw
	Offending file: /sw/build.build/
	Offending file: /sw/build.build/root-r-base214-2.14.0-1/
	Offending file: /sw/build.build/root-r-base214-2.14.0-1/sw/
	Offending file: /sw/build.build/root-r-base214-2.14.0-1/sw/lib/
	Offending file: /sw/build.build/root-r-base214-2.14.0-1/sw/lib/pkgconfig/
	Offending file: 
/sw/build.build/root-r-base214-2.14.0-1/sw/lib/pkgconfig/libR.pc

This is much earlier in the InstallScript output: "mkdir 
/sw/build.build/root-r-base214-2.14.0-1/sw/build.build/root-r-base214-2.14.0-1/sw/lib/pkgconfig"

Update to your Fink package cscope

Kaben,

A user has raised interest in having your package cscope available on OS 
X 10.7, but the current Fink version does not build on 10.7.

The error is getline related (10.7 now includes getline):

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/sw/include  -I/sw/include  -g -O2 -c 
`test -f 'alloc.c' || echo './'`alloc.c
In file included from alloc.c:38:
./global.h:395:5: error: conflicting types for 'getline'
int     getline(char s[], unsigned size, int firstchar, BOOL iscaseless);
         ^
/usr/include/stdio.h:449:9: note: previous declaration is here
ssize_t getline(char ** __restrict, size_t * __restrict, FILE * 
__restrict) __OSX_AVAILABLE_STARTING(__MAC_10_7, __IPHONE_4_3);
         ^
1 error generated.

A patch has been submitted and is available on the Fink tracker, but I 
have not tested it.

<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3410130&group_id=17203&atid=414256>

Alternatively, would it be possible to upgrade cscope to the latest 
upstream 15.7a?

Fink's imagemagick2-svg and avahi

Hi,

I was building imagemagick2 on Lion and saw that it was pulling in avahi 
and a bunch of gnome deps.  These all seem to be Depends for the 
imagemagick2-svg splitoff, but when I look at the build logs, there is 
no difference if I build imagemagick2 with or without avahi present.  I 
also checked the dependency files during the build as well as library 
linkage, and there's no evidence of avahi or gnome-vfs2 being used 
anywhere in the imagemagick2 build.

What is the purpose of the avahi deps?  Are they leftover from past 
versions?  If they're no longer needed, can they trimmed?  Thanks,

Hanspeter

Validation tests for BuildDependsOnly

The requirement for a BDO tag in .info kicks in when a .deb has both a shared library and a header file. Why is
the shared library required? Seems like having headers already means it's used by the compiler. It might
be a headers-only template library or other set of macros, or the library with the headers might be
static-only. In either of those cases, I think the package would only be used as a BuildDepends (not
Depends) and that it should *not* be a Depends in order to allow swapping of different interface-versions
of it. Any objections to knocking the heuristic for "BDO required" down to *just* "header files"?

This came up after a #fink discussion where we found that frameworks are not flagged for requiring BDO, even
though they may contain "non-libversioned" files for use by others compiling against them. That's the
situation that BDO is designed to signify, and therefore prevent Depends deadlocks when swapping
different libversions. So, while we're working on BDO, should it also be required when a .framework
contains non-libversioned files?
