[clc-devel] opt dependencies
by Juergen.Daubert＠t-online.de 20 Mar '04

20 Mar '04

Hi all, driven by some questions regarding dependencies of opt ports on #crux, I've spent an hour to put together such a list. Some remarks: - only deps to opt ports are listed - the list is max. compressed, that mean if port A depends on B and C, but B depends on C, only B is listed for A - should be checked for errors ;) Useful ? Should we publish such a list on CLC ? prt-get ? btw, Per, I see one dependency problem in the base ports, vim, because gvim depends on gtk2 which is an opt port. One solution might be to split the port into two, vim and gvim. The first contains most of the stuff, gvim mainly the gvim binary and, of course, depends on / needs vim and should be located in opt or even contrib. kind regards Jürgen Port | Depends on ------------|------------------------------------- atk | glib2 audiofile | pkgconfig cvs | openssl emacs | xfree86 libtiff esound | audiofile fetchmail | openssl firefox | gtk2 libidl fontconfig | freetype2 expat pkgconfig gdk-pixbuf | gtk libtiff glib2 | gettext pkgconfig gtk | glib xfree86 gtk2 | atk pango imlib | xfree86 libtiff libungif libidl | glib2 libogg | pkgconfig libpng | pkgconfig libtiff | libjpeg libvorbis | libogg openssh | openssl pango | glib2 xfree86 pine | openssl ppp | openssl webfs | openssl wmaker | xfree86 libtiff libungif xchat | gtk2 openssl xfree86 | fontconfig libpng xmms | gtk libvorbis esound -- juergen.daubert(a)t-online.de

[clc-devel] update/remove ports from unmaintained
by Markus Ackermann 29 Feb '04

29 Feb '04

Hi Maintainers... please update the gtk-gnutella and realplay ports in unmaintained with the ports available from http://maol.ch/crux/ (httpup). Alternatively you can just delete the ports in unmaintained so people always know where to get the newest version... and you don't have to care about me updating the ports too often.

[clc-devel] GNOME 2.6 plans
by Robert McMeekin 28 Feb '04

28 Feb '04

After committing those last slew of updates to the GNOME ports, I'm now starting to build the GNOME 2.5 branch from scratch (getting ready for GNOME 2.6). I'd rather not worry about updates to the GNOME 2.4 branch now, since I'm not going to have it installed anymore. I hope someone will volunteer to send/commit any critical updates until GNOME 2.6 is released. Per: I would like to time things so GNOME 2.6 is in the ports tree soon after GTK+ 2.4 is in opt (not like last time when I committed everything too soon ;-). This will be simple if you're planning on updating GTK+ in a CRUX release (as opposed to in between CRUX releases). I guess that would be good since things will need to be recompiled against the new GTK+? Anyway, if you keep me informed I'll try and time everything just right. :-) -- Robert McMeekin <rrm3(a)rrm3.org>

[clc-devel] Documentation: Maintainer Guidelines
by Johannes Winkelmann 23 Feb '04

23 Feb '04

Hello, As mentioned some time ago Ian Armstrong has joined our team as a documentation writer. Being busy lately, it took me a lot longer to finally start defining possible work, I'm sorry for that. I haven't talked to Ian a lot about the procedure of requesting changes to documents, and I think it's best to discuss this here in clc-devel. My idea is that we should always consider the current version of a document and collect missing, unclear or wrong parts. Ian can then proceed to create an improved version. Depending on your wishes, Ian, we can also create separate CVSTrac (Bug tracking) categories to coordinate this, and prepare documents in CVSTrac's Wiki. The first thing I'd like to be rewritten are the maintainer guidelines http://clc.berlios.de/doc/maintainer-guide.html So everyone is invited to send comments to this document. Note that this is not about the maintainer selection process itself but the document describing it. I'm looking forward to all your comments. Best regards, Johannes -- Johannes Winkelmann mailto:jw@tks6.net Bern, Switzerland http://jw.tks6.net

[clc-devel] Re: [bug report] j2sdk: remove/change mozilla plugin link
by Johannes Winkelmann 12 Feb '04

Hey, Simone brought up an interesting point: On Fri, Jan 30, 2004 at 05:58:45 +0100, clc-devel(a)berlios.de wrote: > Description: Should the plugin link for j2sdk be moved into > /usr/lib/firebird/plugins, since its the default browser? Note: j2sdk still creates a symlink in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. > Another option is to separate the ports (see firebird-acroread-plugin). Well, this could be an option :-) Certainly looks cool. I know that Jürgen's j2re Port creates a symlink for firebird, so I'm wondering whether we should drop this from j2sdk completely and use j2re for plugin functionality. Another problem is that I can't find public downloads for J2SE (j2sdk), and I was wondering what to do about this... should we use blackdown's JDK (which is based on Sun's JDK) exclusively, or provide an up to date port without download possibility?

[clc-devel] ROX-ports
by Tilo Riemer 03 Feb '04

03 Feb '04

Hello, I took a look inside of some ROX app ports. I think it's not the best idea to break the AppDir structure which is used by ROX apps. Instead of installing the binary to /usr/bin it should be better (and simple) to create a startscript which calls the binary installed in the AppDir like /usr/share/ROX/ROX-Pager. See also the newest LinCVS port. AppDir styled programs search for resources in the AppDir. They can't find it if the binary is installed outside of the AppDir. Best regards, Tilo

Re: [clc-devel] ports-database at tbmnet.de
by Till Biedermann 03 Feb '04

Hi, Because a heavy bug in the easy-update function the database got corrupted so that the 'get-it' links doesnt work anymore. But i fixed this problem. I also fixed the SQL-errors when the description field contains special-chars. I also noticed another problem: when you change the pathes, directorynames or repositorynames the easy-updatefunction cant notice that, because it catches all repository-information from the database. In this case you must submit the URL of the httpup-file, so that the database gets the new pathes. And there is still a problem with the unmaintained repository: fopen(http://clc.berlios.de/ports/UNMAINTAINED/unmaintained/syslog-ng/Pkgfile): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Regards Till -- http://www.tbmnet.de
