I finally found some time to try the latest (unstable) gcc42 package  
to build the CERNLIB (consisting of ~1.5M lines of fortran code). It  
works perfectly both on ppc and i386.

Thanks for implementing this feature. I gave it a try and it seems to  
mostly work. There is an issue with the validation when running with  
'fink -m' when it comes to validating the deb directories:

PHP4/5 Packages

(Apologies if I've duplicated this!)

Hi,

I'm a PHP developer coming from a linux background but using OS X for  
the past year.  I'm trying to get hold of Dustin Sias regarding the  
PHP4 and 5 packages since they are becoming painfully out of date.   
PHP 5.0.x was very quickly dropped when 5.1.x came out and  
subsequently 5.2.x.  In fact, 5.0.x lacks an incredible amount of  
features and won't work very well at all with a lot of code so barely  
anyone uses it.

Does anyone know how I'd get hold of the package maintainer or take  
responsibility for package maintenance myself?  I'd be happy to  
maintain these two packages and I'm sure I'm not the only PHP  
developer on OS X feeling the pain of rebuilding everything into /usr/ 
local/php linked against the apache2 and mysql in fink.

Best Regards,

Chris Corbyn

If you like, you certainly could do up the updates--even if the
existing maintainer is stil interested, your work would certainly
help.

The process is informal:  contact the listed maintainer and if they
don't respond in a week (and if we haven't had any other contact with

gcc4 package obsolete?

Hi,

Given that we have now gcc42 in 10.4/unstable (and soon also in 10.4/ 
stable), I wonder if we should declare the gcc4 package as obsolete.

The gcc4 package in 10.4/unstable is based on the pre-4.2 snapshot  
4.1.9999-20060617. In the 10.4/stable tree, gcc4 is based on 4.0.2.

The only package depending on gcc4 is pdftk in 10.4/unstable  
(maintainer cc'd).

There seems to be no package in 10.4/stable requiring gcc4.  
Therefore, I'd propose to remove gcc4 from the 10.4/stable tree once  
we add gcc42, and declare the gcc4 package in 10.4/unstable as obsolete.

Remi

Really making maxima-nox not use X

The maxima-nox package currently has an indirect dependency on X11 via 
gnuplot.  I would like it actually to be -nox.  We have a couple of options:

1)  I can make gnuplot a Recommends: rather than a Depends: , since the 
package has another plot output scheme available in its built-in 
openmath output.

2)  I've made up a gnuplot variant with a -nox option--required 
explicitly disabling x11 and also depending on a noxified gd2.  These 
packages are in my experimental area (and I've cc'ed the maintainers):

https://finch.finkdeveloper.net/svn/users/akh/experimental/wxmaxima-project/finkinfo/

Option 1 is certainly easier, of course.

That sounds like a good plan.

deborphan-1.0-11

There's a small bug in the 'orphaner' script provided with  
deborphaner. It checks for whiptail or dialog in several bin  
directories (e.g. /usr/local/bin), but does not check /sw/bin. Thus,  
even though I had 'dialog' installed, it didn't find it. I just added  
a check for /sw/bin and it worked.

I'd like to add krusader soon

If nobody has any objections I'll add the krusader package from my 
experimental tree this evening (GMT-4).
