MacPorts / GNOME Weekly Report
by Randall Wood 23 Sep '06

23 Sep '06

This is the first of what I hope will be a weekly report on the goings on with the GNOME packages carried by the MacPorts project. Most of the ports in the GNOME Platform are at least at the correct major.minor version, if not the most current version, with a couple of exceptions: gnome-vfs: gnome-vfs is a development version, as the current stable version requires a rigorous dbus, which MacPorts currently does not have. I have submitted some bug reports to the dbus project, trying to get dbus working. gnome-vfs-monikers: This is a new package in GNOME, and just simply has not been ported yet. Anyone want to help? gtk-doc: This package used to have some very nasty dependencies that niether the Fink or MacPorts projects got working well (last time I attempted building this port). It may be portable now, but I have yet to attempt it. Most ports that would use it gracefully work around its absence. The GNOME desktop is slowly being updated to the current packages, although any efforts on my part are directed at getting the platform working well first. My lowest priority with the GNOME packages is getting previously unported packages ported. As always, any assistance in getting the GNOME packages ported or existing ports updated is appriciated. I have a semi-automated status list[1] of GNOME packages with the porting status. Packages listed as broken without comment are most likely on my machine at a more recent version than MacPorts is distributing as I have upgraded the port, but the upgrade has not filtered through the entire rsync process yet. This "report" has also been posted on my blog[2].

Very nice. Just in case you haven't see this, there is also bug 8229: Depencencies aren't reported correctly with multiple ports when one port has no dependencies. https://svn.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/8229 Mark macports-dev(a)lists.macosforge.org writes: >Revision >[ http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/changeset/19664 ]19664 >Author >jberry(a)macports.org >Date >2006-09-22 08:40:31 -0700 (Fri, 22 Sep 2006) > >Log Message > >Resolve bug #8723: better messages for port outdated > > >Modified Paths > > [ >fcp://@bubbs.biola.edu,%235000280/MailBox/%23181070084#trunkbasesrcportporttcl >]trunk/base/src/port/port.tcl > > >Diff > > >Modified: trunk/base/src/port/port.tcl (19663 => 19664) > > >--- trunk/base/src/port/port.tcl 2006-09-22 13:37:53 UTC (rev 19663) >+++ trunk/base/src/port/port.tcl 2006-09-22 15:40:31 UTC (rev 19664) >@@ -1571,9 +1571,8 @@ > } > } > >- if { [llength $ilist] > 0 } { >- puts "The following installed ports are outdated:" >- >+ set num_outdated 0 >+ if { [llength $ilist] > 0 } { > foreach i $ilist { > > # Get information about the installed port >@@ -1634,13 +1633,23 @@ > > # Emit information > if {$comp_result < 0 || [ui_isset ports_verbose]} { >+ >+ if { $num_outdated == 0 } { >+ puts "The following installed ports are outdated:" >+ } >+ incr num_outdated >+ > puts [format "%-30s %-24s %1s" $portname "$installed_compound >$relation $latest_compound" $flag] > } > > } > } >+ >+ if { $num_outdated == 0 } { >+ puts "No installed ports are outdated." >+ } > } else { >- puts "No installed ports are outdated." >+ puts "No ports are installed." > } > > return $status > > >_______________________________________________ >macports-changes mailing list >macports-changes(a)lists.macosforge.org >http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-changes

Is libffi obsolete?

Is libffi obsolete? Is it desirable and/or feasible to run it on OS X anymore? Looks like it isn't under active development. http://sourceware.org/libffi/ https://svn.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/10232 Mark

dbus on 10.3 chokes because "-undefined suppress" in CFLAGS
by Mark Duling 21 Sep '06

21 Sep '06

Dbus fails on 10.3 with: /usr/bin/libtool: internal link edit command failed make[3]: *** [libdbus-1.la] Error 1 make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2 http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/10659 but it builds fine on 10.3 if I remove "-undefined suppress" from the CFLAGS. Why would that be? And is removing it an acceptable fix? Mark

Improvements to trac/svn workflow?
by Paul Guyot 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

Hi all, I don't know what other developers and users think about it, but I find our current installation and habits with trac & svn difficult to work with. Is there a way to get trac to send e-mails when some bugs we're watching is updated? Even the original poster of the bug doesn't get e-mail feedback. See for example the discussion at http:// trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/10651 Is there a way to get more useful rss feeds? Could we at least remind the port concerned in the commit messages? This is typically the kind of messages I get from the timeline feed. http://svn.macosforge.org/projects/macports/timeline http://svn.macosforge.org/projects/macports/timeline? milestone=on&ticket=on&wiki=on&max=50&daysback=90&fo rmat=rss Title: Ticket #10660 (enhancement) closed by markd(a)macports.org Body: Committed. Thanks! Title: Ticket #10652 (enhancement) closed by markd(a)macports.org Body: Committed. Thanks! Title: Ticket #10707 (defect) created by eddyxu(a)gmail.com Body: the output message of svn is wrong. The title contains very little interesting information. For example, "Ticket" takes way too much room on the title line, enhancement and defect are much less informative than the name of the port or the title of the ticket. The author of the change is already the author of the rss entry, we don't need it in the title. Likewise, the feed for svn commits is completely useless. It doesn't even mention the files that are affected. Title: Revision 19599: Nuking port. I accidentally committed this not realizing that Body: Nuking port. I accidentally committed this not realizing that p5-libapreq2 was the same port. Finally, the e-mails for svn commits are all authored source_changes(a)macosforge.org and this makes it more difficult to quickly find a change in the mail box. Is there anything we can do to improve the workflow? Paul
