[clc-devel] Wiki Page ready
by Johannes Winkelmann 18 Apr '04

18 Apr '04

Hello, The Wiki-based website is ready to be announced as main webpage for the CLC project. If no one objects (or volunteers the write the announcement), I'll send an announcement to crux@fukt soon. There are two minor things I'm aware of which we should probably change anytime soon: - anonymous can't write wiki pages ATM - some files are still hosted at berlios.de. This includes the critical supfiles and httpup ports. These are not showstoppers to me, though. Comments? Johannes -- Johannes Winkelmann mailto:jw@tks6.net Bern, Switzerland http://jw.tks6.net

[clc-devel] External Packagers
by Johannes Winkelmann 18 Apr '04

18 Apr '04

Hello everyone, I've been implementing changes in httpup to allow syncronisation of subtrees of a repository and found out that it might be an option for us to get packages from external packagers into the CLC CVS tree. I've written a short explanation in the Wiki, find it at http://crux.fh-regensburg.de/cgi-bin/cvstrac/wiki?p=HttpupNg With such a solution, we could easily keep up with external packagers, given they provide their ports in an httpup repository. Imagine they could just submit a bug report "there's a new version of fluxbox, sync it from http://my.domain/ports/clc-upstream#fluxbox". Sidenote: We might solve the problems with 'unmaintained' with something like this. <interlude> A comment for people aware of httpup repositories: Packagers could use the following layout for their private repository: clc-upstream/ portA private/ portB portC The "supfile" for ports(8) would check out the private subtree; once a port is accepted into CLC (as externally maintained port), the maintainer moves it into clc-upstream from where the CLC maintainer syncs it to the CLC CVS tree. The maintainer can even decide to put a new version of a port into 'private' first (so people subscribing to his private collection will get the new version immediately) and move it to clc-upstream only if it has been synced. </interlude> The new version which is going to be released as httpup 0.3.0 has gone through a major refactoring, so I'd appreciate testing of the current release (2.90) very much; to do so, just update the 'version' variable in contrib/httpup (new md5: eb78e8dec74d9e9417dc19033a0ab1fe) and pkgmk -d -u (or prt-get edit httpup Pkgfile && prt-get update httpup). There might be a few minor changes before the release of 0.3.0 and a 'diff' command if I can find a good way to do it; probably not for .0 though. Comments, suggestions, ideas? Kind regards, Johannes -- Johannes Winkelmann mailto:jw@tks6.net Bern, Switzerland http://jw.tks6.net

[clc-devel] Crux on AMD64
by Tilo Riemer 09 Apr '04

09 Apr '04

Hello, I think I will buy an AMD64 next month. Of course I'm going to install Crux. I will use kernel 2.6 and rebuild Crux completely as AMD64 binaries. Now I have two questions: 1.) Does someone know/have a good idea how you can organize compatibility libs for 32 bit applications like acroread? 2.) Is there someone who want work on the AMD64 version also? Best regards, Tilo -- Tilo Riemer mailto:riemer@lincvs.org Dresden, Germany http://www.lincvs.org http://www.iapp.de/~riemer/projects

[clc-devel] CRUX-Evolution 1.3.1 has been realesed
by Giuseppe Coviello 20 Mar '04

20 Mar '04

Hi CRUX-Evolution 1.3.1 has been realesed, this is the "official" description: CRUX-Evolution has all the foundamental features of CRUX: it use the same base and opt packages, it is optimized for i686, it use the same init script, it can use clc's ports. In CRUX-Evolution are contained the two big desktop envirnment, GNOME and KDE; but ALSA drivers, the programs for printing (cups, ghostscript, gimp-print) and OpenOffice.org are, also, included in CRUX-Evolution. The "setup" script had been rewrited (from the setup script developed by Per Liden), some features of the setup are: the possibility to select packages divided by category and the check of dependencies. The default kernel is 2.4.25, CRUX-Evolution has gcc 3.3.2, glibc 2.3.2, xfree86 4.3.0.1 (and all the other packages of CRUX 1.3 uptated to the last stable version). You can download it fron crux italia website www.crux-it.org .... I hope that soon you can found this contrib iso of crux on the official crux website! hasta siempre -- ...dato che tutti gli altri posti erano già occupati, ci siamo seduti dalla parte del torto

[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] Dependency tree with prt-get
by Johannes Winkelmann 15 Mar '04

15 Mar '04

Hello everyone, I've uploaded prt-get 0.5.5pre5 to clc.berlios.de with support for dependency tree listing: $ ./prt-get deptree subversion -- dependencies ([i] = installed, '-->' = seen before) [i] subversion [i] apr [i] expat [i] neon [i] openssl [i] libxml2 [i] expat If a subtree occurs multiple times, it's collapsed (and marked with a "-->" hint), unless prt-get is called with the --all switch. I'm keeping 0.5.5 on hold until I'm certain about the external dependency list feature, so maybe some of you will want to check out this pre version (which is as stable as any other release BTW) and enjoy the christmas tree of `prt-get deptree kdebase` :-) Feedback welcome, Regards, Johannes -- Johannes Winkelmann mailto:jw@tks6.net Bern, Switzerland http://jw.tks6.net

[clc-devel] Proposal: Wiki-Webpage
by Johannes Winkelmann 12 Mar '04

12 Mar '04

Hello everyone, I'd like to suggest moving the current CLC webpage to the CVSTrac Wiki at crux.fh-regensburg.de. My reasons are mainly the following: - allow everyone from CLC to adjust pages - allow direct linking with check-ins, bug reports and timeline (and the other way around) - simplify maintenance - stability of clc.berlios.de Hopefully, we'll even have more docs (e.g. for some ports) because it's so easy to add docs in Wiki; for example, we could add notes to kernel 2.6 related ports etc. Objections, comments, jokes ? Regards, Johannes -- Johannes Winkelmann mailto:jw@tks6.net Bern, Switzerland http://jw.tks6.net

by Johannes Winkelmann 12 Mar '04

12 Mar '04

Hello, Everyone (from CLC) is invited to transport content from the current CLC webpage to the CVSTrac Wiki. Note that you'll need to login into CVSTrac in order to make changes. I've started to transform the pages, the rough first version is available here: http://crux.fh-regensburg.de/cgi-bin/cvstrac/wiki Please have a look at http://crux.fh-regensburg.de/cgi-bin/cvstrac/wiki?p=WebpageToWikiPlanning first and add additional tasks there. Looking forward to this, Johannes -- Johannes Winkelmann mailto:jw@tks6.net Bern, Switzerland http://jw.tks6.net

[clc-devel] CRUX-Evolution
by Giuseppe Coviello 11 Mar '04

11 Mar '04

hi, I (with, for and from crux italia) have developed a contrib iso of crux (called CRUX-Evolution) that includes also the packages of gnome and kde, the base system is the same of crux (CRUX-Evolution uses the /base and /opt packages developed by Per). This iso has a new setup that also check dependencies and executes eventually post-install script. We're testing it, I think that it is ready about friday or saturday of this week. hasta siempre -- ...dato che tutti gli altri posti erano già occupati, ci siamo seduti dalla parte del torto
