There have been dependency issues in the past with some packages that
depend on teTeX, such as magicfilter.  Will this help with such 
problems?

I have no idea.
I'm not aware of those dependency issues, and testing/fixing is what's 
next on my TODO list (that I'm assembling right now), after I've done some 
initial sweep of making sure some tex-* pkgs work properly with teTeX(2) 
and teTeX3.

See pkg/21258 for what happened a while back, when teTeX2 was imported.

IC... yes, my goal is to go through all pkgs now and make sure they work 
with teTeX3. If you or anyone else wants to help me out, feel free to drop 
me mail with pkgs that you have built successfully with teTeX3 installed.

The patch applied below may help a bit, for those pkgs that pull in 
pkgsrc/print/teTeX and expect a recent version (3.0). It's what I'd 
eventually want to commit.

FWIW, magicfilter seems to build fine:

===> Building binary package for magicfilter-1.2nb3
Creating package /pkg_comp/packages/3.0/All/magicfilter-1.2nb3.tgz

I have no idea how to test it though (I have no printer), but I guess 
there shouldn't be much of a surprise there.

As I've said before (repeatedly):

Many people have documents that do not compile (cleanly) using newer
versions of teTeX.  teTeX2 is not 100% backwards compatible -- and so I
must assume that teTeX3 won't be either -- which is why I'm strongly
opposed to removing teTeX1 altogether.

IC, I must have missed this.

I think it's fine to keep teTeX1 in pkgsrc.  My intention is to make the 
pkgs prefer one TeX version (which should be pulled in via 
pkgsrc/print/teTeX). Pkgs that know they want something else can still 
pull in pkgsrc/print/teTeX1-bin.

What I'm working on is changing any pkgs that work ok with teTeX3 to 
actually use that as common base, while still allowing teTeX1 if 
users prefer to install that.

(I thought about adding a pkgsrc/print/teTeX3 package, which could then be 
pulled in from pkgsrc/print/teTeX later, but think that's probably not 
worth the effort. Maybe I'm wrong.)

bootstrap/bmake vs devel/bmake

Hi,

At the moment, bootstrap uses bootstrap/bmake to bootstrap bmake
(doesn't that sentence read well), but it reaches over into pkgsrc
proper (if you will) for other tools.  Yet, we have devel/bmake.  What's
the difference between bootstrap/bmake and devel/bmake?  If there's no
difference, why do we have both?  If there is a difference, how do we
sync the two?

Or was bmake just not converted to a bootstrappable package?

-Jan

xcdplayer problems.


Hi,
I have built xcdplayer-2.2nb1 .
It has lots of problems.

It's GUI  is all wrong and jumbled up.
I wish i could send a jpg of it but don't know how yet.

No buttons appear so I can't tell it to play etc.

I also get command line errors:
su# xcdplayer
ioctl(cdromreadtochdr): : Operation not supported by device
Apr  1 14:12:42 su /netbsd: cd0(pciide0:1:0):  Check Condition on CDB: 0x00 00 00 00 00 00
Apr  1 14:12:42 su /netbsd:     SENSE KEY:  Not Ready
Apr  1 14:12:42 su /netbsd:      ASC/ASCQ:  No Reference Position Found
Apr  1 14:12:42 su /netbsd:

Can anyone suggest remedy paths?
Or a different piece of software to play cd's?

thanks,
Paul.
