[clc-devel] clcbuild: first test
by Simone Rota 09 Mar '04

09 Mar '04

Hi everybody, I finished the first automated compilation of all clc/contrib ports on a machine with only /base ports installed. Quick summary for the impatient: 306 Successful, 240 Failed. Full details at http://www.varlock.com/blosxom.cgi/cruxprojects/clcbuild/index.html As I expected, I found quite a number of ports that could not be compiled properly, since many times maintainers (me included: see xpdf, fox: failed) tend to skip listing of /opt dependencies, ie: - xfsprgs depends on gettext - lesstif depends on xfree86 - wmclock depends on windowmaker - tetex depends on xfree86 - blender depends on python - fvwm depends on xfree86 some of them are mandatory (xfsprogs), some are only a question of footprint mismatch (tetex). Another note: Pango could not compile, consequently gtk2 failed, and so many ports depending on gtk2: gnome, etc. Something similar happened to kde ports (lesstif failed), at least we're impartial regarding DEs :-) Apart from ports failing for my particular setup (ie: alsa-driver), can/shall we fix the failing ports? It could require some time, but I think It's very important to have a well-tested and consistent contrib collection; besides after some initial work now, things are likely to go much better for the future. Plus we can take our time, since we don't have deadlines of any sort. Idea: For the moment we could use a separate dependency file thanks to latest addition to prt-get by Johannes (see "opt dependencies" thread), just not to play too much with the cvs repo. NB: I'm not trying to force anybody into fixing these issues, as soon as I get some spare time I'd like to have a deeper look at every single log myself, but any help /comment is really appreciated :-) Best regards, Simone -- Simone Rota WEB : http://www.varlock.com Bergamo, Italy MAIL: sip(a)varlock.com

[clc-devel] Ports management with svk
by Johannes Winkelmann 04 Mar '04

04 Mar '04

Hey, I've continued playing with svk (http://svk.elixus.org/?SVKTutorial) and have made a little test how it could be applied to our ports tree. Have a look at http://sto.f2o.org/crux/wiki/SvkRepo If you want to :-) There are a few gains over the current sitation: 1. It's a distributed system, therefore people can create private branches, and send patches to us (or publish them in a repository so we can pull from them). 2. In the working copy, branches are different directories (not in the repository!). This makes it very easy to navigate. 3. Different archs are in the same repo, therefore merging between the branches is simple and possible (if done right). And yes, there are versioned renames etc :-) Disclaimer: I'm quite happy the way port management is now, I'm not suggesting to switch; this is simply an evaluation of svk as a replacement for CVS.

[clc-devel] New Maintainer

Hi maintainers, Tilo Riemer sent me his maintainer application mail some weeks ago. Should we take him as CRUX maintainer? I have no concern taking him as new maintainer. He is a professional software developer and works since 7 years with linux.
