pkgutils patches
by Ciprian Dorin, Craciun 28 Aug '09

28 Aug '09

Hello all! (I'll be short as I'm in a hurry.) I've made some (minor) modifications to pkgutils, which are available from my Git repository (given below), so if you're interested, please merge them in. (Even if not I would appreciate some comments. :) ) git://git.volution.ro/pkgutils.git I've done all these, because I want to use you package manager along side with apt-get (on Debian) for my own (hand-built) packages, and also in a non-standard location (like /packages for example). The patches contain some minor updates to the Makefile or the code: * added a SHARED variable, that when set on "yes" disables the "-static" compilation flag; (static compilation breaks on my Debian, and I've not investigated why;) * added a VARDIR variable, that allows to customize the /var/lib/pkg folder location; (both to the Makefile, C++ source code, Bash scripts and manual files;) * pushed the ETCDIR, BINDIR and MANDIR (although the last two are not needed) inside the C++ files to allow customization of these paths also; (there are still left LDCONFIG, etc.) * added a PREFIX variable (for example /usr/local); but by default is not set, and the old behavior is kept; I'm planning also to patch the applications to allow usage without root privileges. Thank's for the good job! Keep it up! Ciprian Craciun.

Orphaning ports
by Lucas Hazel 18 Jul '09

18 Jul '09

I have been considering this for some time, but I'll now make it official. I am hereby orphaning all ports I am marked as maintainer for in opt and contrib. I will still be contributing to the CRUX project in maintaining my x86_64 multilib repositories and the portdb and anything else in general. However, my primary focus for the next 6 months is on completing my degree and I don't want the CRUX ports I'm maintaining to suffer because of this. I'll set up a wiki page after I send this email similar to what happened when sip retired. Anything that is not adopted, I will put in a private repo and add to the portdb. Hopefully, I'll have some time next year to be more involved again.

prt-get installation issue
by Ciprian Dorin, Craciun 10 Jul '09

10 Jul '09

Hello all! I've tried to install prt-get into a non-standard location (like /packages/prt-get). For this I've used ./configure --prefix=/packages/prt-get. Unfortunately make doesn't take these into account.. This is strange... Any ideas? Thanks, Ciprian Craciun.
