Installing DarwinPorts on Panther

Hello,

I just got the DarwinPorts CVS snapshot and installed it on my Panther 
machine with make, make install and made the suggested change to the 
.cshrc. Where do I go from here? Since Terminal now uses bash I don't 
think that editing .cshrc makes any difference. Also where can I get 
PortsManager.app? I tried subscribing to the ML but have so far not 
gotten a confirmation mail so I am probably not subscribed yet. If 
anyone can give me some hints on what to do I would be very grateful. I 
have also two pieces of software I would like to submit to darwinports 
that I got to run on Jaguar using Fink, namely Lopster and a Panther 
style GTK+ theme which can be viewed at
http://homepage.mac.com/max_08/ (AhmedFaisal is the nick I use in that 
forum).
Best Regards,

Bjoern Hoffmann

Glitches on Panther

Mostly things seem to build on Panther, but I noticed a couple of glitches.
Bugzilla seems to be broken at the moment, but in case no-one's spotted
these yet:

* pbxbuild is now called xcodebuild

* Tcl's changed a bit

The Tcl changes (it is in /System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.Framework and not
/System/Library/Tcl/, and is now Tcl 8.4 instead of 8.3) have broken the
databases/db4 Portfile. This patch seems to help, but will of course break
pre-Panther systems.

Re: Glitches on Panther

The xcode/pbxbuild problem has been fixed.  You have to be used 
'build.type pbx' though.

The Tcl problem is a symptom of larger problems.  We have a potential 
solution, it just needs approval from the Powers That Be.  Breaking 
Jaguar is not a solution.

OK.

Right. What is the likely solution going to be - something like an extra
config variable pointing at the Tcl base?

Cheers,

10.3 and dports/databases/db4

Hi,

Maybe this issue was mentioned before, in the file
dports/databases/db4/Portfile, the variant argument is asking for a
directory that doesn't exist in 10.3 Panther.
[code]
variant darwin  { configure.args-append --enable-tcl \
                  --with-tcl=/System/Library/Tcl/8.3
}
[/code]

Therefore it would give an error message like this:
[errorcode]
configure: error: /System/Library/Tcl/8.3 directory doesn't contain
tclConfig.sh
[/errorcode]

The with-tcl variable might need to change to
/System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.4 in 10.3 Panther.

Unfortunately, the bugzilla is not working right now. Once it's back, I
probably will record this (if this situation was not filed in bugzilla
before).

Best,
--

Re: Glitches on Panther

Well, we need to be able to do OS version-specific variants.  Whatever 
happened to that proposal anyway?  It's not like this is HARD guys. :-)

Re: Glitches on Panther

That might be a solution for this specific problem, but I would imagine 
the Jaguar/Panther/[Siamese/FeralTabby/PersianHairball] release 
differences would need to be handled via a more generic mechanism which 
lets you specify not only "darwin" but additional qualifiers to a 
variant.

Waiting on Landon's approval (I'll poke him about it).

Fwd: Server issues?

Resent now that the list appears to be working again...

----- Forwarded message from Bryan Blackburn <blb <at> pobox.com> -----

From: Bryan Blackburn <blb <at> pobox.com>

Subject: Server issues?

Went to do a cvs update, and received:

Received disconnect from 204.152.184.200: 2: Too many authentication failures for blb

Is someone doing bad things against the server?  When I made a quick check
to the website, I noticed the second oddity, on the news page,

http://www.opendarwin.org/en/news.php

everything is either dated 2003.10.31 or 1969.12.31...

Re: Glitches on Panther

I've been using it for a little while now and it's pretty good.

I don't think I've had a problem yet..
