Fwd: ARB for FINK: help please

Hello, Mike. I'm forwarding your request to fink-devel which is the

FinkCommander 0.5.5 (huh?)

Hello, all. I'm about to release FinkCommander 0.5.5. Nope, you're not  
dreaming! I've just joined the FinkCommander project and I hope I've  
done everything right in this release. :)

FinkCommander is now a fully universal binary (i386, ppc, x86_64,  
ppc64) thanks to Madd the Sane, it tells whether a feedback is  
positive or negative thanks to Brendan Cully, and it has a Japanese  
translation thanks to Mamoru Komachi.

I would like to have some feedback from you before I make a proper  
release with announcements. I'm particularly interested in getting  
feedback from all the combinations of Mac OS X versions and  
architectures. I've read reports that users on Mac OS 10.6 need to set  
the Perl path in FinkCommander to /usr/bin/perl5.8.9. The update  
instructions say that if the new FinkCommander application is going to  
be placed under the same directory as the previous version (e.g. / 
Applications) then the old application must be removed first. I'm not  
sure if these instructions still apply, though.

Here's the download URL:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/finkcommander/files/FinkCommander/0.5.5/FinkCommander_0.5.5.dmg/download

Also, if you're a Cocoa developer and you're interested in  
contributing to FinkCommander, drop me an e-mail.

Cheers,

I committed the patches about half an hour ago, Martin. They're on  
FinkCommander's CVS repository at SourceForge.net.

I know FinkCommander hasn't done this recently, but it would be nice to 
have a source tarball like most other open source software projects have.

Re: FinkCommander 0.5.5 (huh?)

I am getting the following errors when tryin to selfupdate through  
finkcommander (0.5.5 built in Xcode):

I will now run the cvs command to retrieve the latest package  
descriptions.
The 'su' command will be used to run the cvs command as the user 'koen'.
After that, the core packages will be updated right away; you should  
then
update the other packages using commands like 'fink update-all'.

/usr/bin/su koen -c 'cvs  -z3 update -d -P -l'
Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive).
cvs [update aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages  
if any)
### execution of /usr/bin/su failed, exit code 1
/usr/bin/su koen -c 'cvs  -z3 update -d -P 10.4'
Permission denied, please try again.

cvs [update aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages  
if any)
### execution of /usr/bin/su failed, exit code 1
Failed: Updating using CVS failed. Check the error messages above.

Fink update all gives no problems, so I can rule out that my password  
was entered wrong. Also, Selfupdate works fine in the terminal.  If I  
have some time later today, I will try if I can sterp through the code  
in Xcode to see what's going on.

Fwd: why not update ncl from version 4.2.0 to 5.1.1

Hello, Guangshan. I'm forwarding your e-mail to the fink-devel mailing  
list because most package maintainers are subscribed to it.

ncl is an unmaintained package; that explains why it hasn't been  
updated. Maybe one of our package maintainers would be willing to  
update it, or, if you have the knowledge or are willing to learn, you  
could update the package yourself and submit it to us.

Cheers,

validator request

"fink validate" has the following error message:

> Error: use of PatchFile requires declaring a BuildDepends on fink (>= 0.24.12) or higher. (foo.info)

Could this please be removed from the validator? I can't see a situation 
where this would be useful. No contemporary Fink installation will work 
with fink versions as old as 0.24.x anyway.

Old cruft in /sw/fink/update/ not 64bit aware

In the 2 threads "lablgtk 1.2.7-1002 on 10.6 64bit fails to build" and 
"python-bibtex-py26-1.2.4-1 build failed on 10.6 64bit" the error was 
caused by dylibs not linking with libintl.dylib, 
/sw/lib/libgtk-1.2.0.dylib in the first case and 
/sw/lib/librecode.0.dylib in the second case.

Both dylibs do link with libintl on 10.5/32bit (probably on 10.6/32bit, 
too).

The packages gtk+ and recode have in common that they use

UpdateConfigGuess: true
UpdateLibtool: true

This brings in particular the extremely old /sw/lib/fink/update/ltconfig 
which defines

   deplibs_check_method='file_magic Mach-O dynamically linked shared 
library'

In reality, the 64bit dylibs have "Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked 
shared library".

The result is that libtool does not recognize that /sw/lib/libintl.dylib 
is a dynamic library, and it removes it from the linker list, 
accompanying this deed with the lie

*** Warning: This library needs some functionality provided by -lintl.
*** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in when
*** you link to this library.  But I can only do this if you have a
