[clc-devel] Port names (case)
Hi Guys, I have a peice of software that I'd like to create a port for and make available to other CRUX users (obviously) I'll try it out myself though first (from the website it appears to be very nice!). I have a problem though, it's called MuSE However this may conflict with an already existing port called: muse Will it conflict ? (Are ports case-sensitive, seeing as linux file names are) Any other comments ? cheers James -- -- -"Problems are Solved by Method" -

Yes, using uppercase characters in package names violates the packages guidlines, see http://www.fukt.bth.se/~per/crux/doc/handbook.html#Package-Guidelines-Genera... btw, please fix your WMmp port. Greetings Jürgen -- Juergen Daubert | mailto:jue@jue.li Korb, Germany | http://jue.li/crux

*nods* I knoew. So I think if I decide to use this port and make it available, I'd have to name it something else ? ie: mse (cut out teh e) However I can't get it to compile atm... See the attached log.
btw, please fix your WMmp port.
*nods* Thanks I'll fix that. cheers James -- -- -"Problems are Solved by Method" -

When having multiple packages with the same name, I'd suggest to contact the other maintainer(s) to see what to do, since it might make more sense to rename on or the other, or even all(/both). Using my crystal ball, I figured that you probably want to port MuSE (Multiple Streaming Engine), which is registered at freshmeat as "MuSE Streamer". The obvious ports name is would therefore be 'muse-streamer'.
However I can't get it to compile atm... See the attached log. google should help you there: inchannels.cpp:543: error: `errno' undeclared
As a final note, this is clc-devel, covering "Discussion about the development of CLC itself". Since your question is not related to CLC, and your port probably won't end up in CLC's contrib, such questions should really be discussed in the crux mailing list, both because clc-devel is not the authoritive source to discuss/answer generic questions regarding CRUX/ports, but also to make sure the other packagers can join the discussion, and learn from the results.

Sorry my mistake. It's part of ogg's repo.
