[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
by opel＠rfhs8012.fh-regensburg.de 04 Mar '04

04 Mar '04

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. Bye Martin -- martin opel / fachbereich informatik - fachhochschule regensburg dipl.-inf. / email: martin.opel(a)informatik.fh-regensburg.de (fh) / web: http://fbim.fh-regensburg.de/~opel/

[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. Markus. -- Markus Ackermann <maol(a)symlink.ch> http://maol.ch/ http://symlink.ch/

[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?
