use flags
by heidi 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

hello on first sorry for my English :) I write something like gentoo's use flags but more simplest. for example i need (or i like :) ) fluxbox witch imlib2 but i don't need xinerama if i wont add or delete some functionality i must rewrite Pkgfile . 3 steps to change it : 1. add to /etc/pkgmk.conf USE="nls imlib" 2. add function to pkgmk if_use() { local TMP_USE=$1 local RET_YES=$2 local RET_NO=$3 for U in $USE do if [ "$U" = "$TMP_USE" ]; then echo $RET_YES return fi done echo $RET_NO } 3. Pkgfile # Description: light windowmanager based on the original blackbox # URL: http://fluxbox.org # Maintainer: # Packager: # Depends on: x11 imlib2 deps="x11 $(if_use imlib2 imlib2) $(if_use nls nls) $(if_use xinerama xinerama)" name=fluxbox version=1.0rc2 release=1 source=(http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/fluxbox/fluxbox-$vers… build() { cd $SRC/$name-$version ./configure \ --prefix=/usr \ $(if_use nls --enable-nls --disable-nls) \ $(if_use imlib2 --enable-imlib2) \ $(if_use xinerama --enable-xinerama --disable-xinerama) make make install DESTDIR=$PKG } and that's all folks :) if_use <use_flags> <arg_1> <arg_2> if use_flags exist in config then return arg_1 if not then arg_2 simple but powerful :) and in variable deps we have all needed depes What you thinking about it ?

Bittorrent Error
by Hitoshi Satow 24 Aug '06

24 Aug '06

When trying to use bittorrent after depinst I got the following error. traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/bittorrent", line 177, in ? ImportError: No module named gtk Installing pygtk allowed it to run. I'm a little new to all this. Is bittorrent or gtk not configured correctly or is bittorrent dependent on pygtk?

udev: DVB and network device hotplug handling
by Johannes Winkelmann 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

Hi, We updated core/udev to handle DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) cards, however since we lack the proper hardware to test it we'd appreciate if those with such hardware available could give 0.96-3 a try and report back whether or not it works. In addition, there's another udev related port to handle hotplug events of network interfaces, opt/udev-netif-hotplug-handler. It installs a handler to listen to "add" and "remove" events of network devices, allowing to automatically configure a device when it's plugged in. There's a README included in the port which explains how to set it up. Typically, this can be used to assign an IP when a wifi card is plugged in, or when a usbnet device becomes available. Please feel free to report any kind of problems (or success stories, of course ;-)). Regards, Johannes -- Johannes Winkelmann mailto:jw@smts.ch Zurich, Switzerland http://jw.smts.ch

indefinite leave of absence (looking for a new KDE maintainer)
by Nick Steeves 22 Aug '06

22 Aug '06

Hi, At the end of August I'll be taking an indefinite leave of absence from CRUX development, due to the ever increasing amount of time needed to do schoolwork, and the beginning of my hardest semester yet. At this time I'll be ceasing maintenance of my httpup repository (http://members.shaw.ca/nick.steeves/ports) although it will no longer be accessible via httpup, I will transition to hosting a tarball of its ports. Ideally I'd like to find someone to maintain two httpup repositories: kde.httpup (kdelibs, kdebase, kdeartwork, etc.), and kde-extra.httpup (with all of the KDE stuff from my personal repository). It seems reasonable to presume that should this person maintain them well, then he or she could possibly join CRUX as the KDE maintainer, due to the experience gained while maintaining the httpup repositories. Any volunteers? Last night I built KDE-3.5.4, but won't have the time to test it thoroughly, so haven't committed it to SVN, but have instead put it in my personal repository. If I hear that it works great, without issues, for a few people then I'll certainly check it in...but I'm transitioning out of my CRUX responsibilities, so don't want to commit to supporting a new release just yet. As for the rest of my ports: I'll be transferring them to Younès, although, as always, I'm sure duplicates may occur. ;-) On a more serious note, it seems worth duplicating a really nice port, if only to maintain it as part of contrib (digikam, for example...) Who knows, perhaps someone with a digital camera will want to make digikam part of opt? I don't own a digital camera, so only use it as a content manager for photos from friends, or the occasional photo CD, which is why I can't justify maintaining it as part of opt. Well anyways, it's been fun, educational, and an overall good experience working on CRUX for the past two years. I hope to get an email or two back from hopeful KDE advocates. Cheers, Nick

Announce: Comprehensive Source Database makes Distributor's and Sysop's life easier
by Enrico Weigelt 18 Aug '06

18 Aug '06

Announcing the Comprehensive Source Database Project ------------------------------------------------------ ==> What's it all about ? The CSDB project provides an uniform database with dozens of packages, their releases and tarball locations. Using this database, package maintainers and self-building sysops do not need to keep track of tarball urls by their own. They simply query the database by package name and canonical version number. CSDB also provides an simple URL redirector which provides an canonical URL for accessing certain package+version tarball and kicks you to an random download URL. This for example allows automatic buildsystems to ==> How does it work ? Lots of crawlers scan websites and ftp servers of many projects and feed in the found tarball URLs into our database. While feeding in, the data is brought into an strictly canonical form. We've got several classes of data objects: * packages -> identifier, description, ... * per package: releases -> canonical version, upstream version, ... * per release: src_url -> source-format, url, ... Users can access this database via various interfaces, ie. + Human-readble user interface: http://sourcefarm.metux.de/webfront/?show=world + Various robot interfaces: http://wiki.metux.de/public/SourceFarm/robots The robot interfaces are for automated systems, ie. system builders. For example, the URL redirector provides an uniform URL syntax for fetching an tarball of some given package in some given (canonical) version. It does an database lookup and kicks the client to the actual URL. Package maintainers can simply use these URLs instead of the actual ones and so don't have to cope with individual release URLs anymore. ==> How can I contribute ? Contributions are always welcomed :) Please join our mailinglist oss-qm-discuss(a)metux.de by writing "subscribe oss-qm" to majordomo(a)metux.de. You may freely use the wiki at http://sourcefarm.metux.de but please always drop not to the maillist if you wrote something. ===> Further stuff: [ ] How CSDB was born http://www.metux.de/articles/oss/csdb/how-csdb-was-born [ ] CSDB Website http://sourcefarm.metux.de/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The OSS-QM Project - Comprehensive Source Database Official contact: oss-qm-discuss(a)metux.de Website: http://sourcefarm.metux.de/ Maintainer: Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service <weigelt(a)metux.de> Infrastructure: metux IT service - http://www.metux.de ----------------------------------------------------------------------
