Trac & Subversion downtime
by Juan Manuel Palacios 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

Hello everyone! Next Monday the 12th our host Mac OS Forge will be migrating our Trac and Subversion services over to new hardware, for which they will both be down starting at around 8am California time (PST) and for the approximate duration of a full hour, plus some extra time (location dependent) for full DNS propagation to take place. During that time no interaction what-so-ever with any of those services will be possible, including read-only operations. I'll inform of any updates & changes to these plans in a timely manner, but so far that's the timeline. Do not hesitate to contact me through mail or IRC if you experience outage greater than what's planned. Regards,... -jmpp

I pasted the raw text from my latest doc update on "use_parallel_build". Is this accurate? use_parallel_build This keyword is for specifying whether or not it is safe for a port to use multiple cpus or multiple cores in parallel during its build phase. This keyword passes the -j [jobs] option to make, where jobs is obtained from the variable buildmakejobs in macports.conf. This variable may also be set to 0 so the number of jobs is set to the number of cores detected during the build phase. Mark

Pallet...?
by Juan Manuel Palacios 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

Hello Ryan! I think this question is long overdue, and in a way I would like to apologize for apparently having ignored your seemingly interesting work on Pallet thus far! But trust me, I haven't ;-) So, mind filling us in on what you're doing with Pallet? What's the scope of your project? Tying into the existing MacPorts API to provide a Cocoa front end...? Or are you all the way out there rewriting us entirely? ;-) How's Pallet shaping up? Do you have any demonstrations? roadmap? ETA? Very interested in finding out more about your work, tell us all about it! Regards,.... -jmpp

Trac problems and slrn-devel upgrade
by Sbranzo 07 Nov '07

07 Nov '07

Hi, I tried to file this on trac, but after pushing "preview and submit changes" the connection hangs and the ticket fails to be uploaded. I'm the maintainer of the slrn-devel package but I don't have the commit bit. Can someone please upgrade this for me? I'm not also used to upload sources tarball on macports, and the tarball attached is derived from a svn export of the development branch of slrn, so I don't know where to place it and change the portfile to reflect the location. Portfile is attached, and I'll send the archive ( 1.5 Mb) to the one who'll upload them. Thanks, Gufo

Ghemical port and Glut problems
by Simon Ruderich 07 Nov '07

07 Nov '07

Hi, I tried to create a port for Ghemical [1] and had some problems. After some tries I got it working, but only by patching Glut. The problem is that Glut tries to include GL/gl.h and GL/glu.h which don't exist. So I had to change them to OpenGl/gl.h and OpenGL/glu.h. I also had to change the includes in the Ghemical source code to OpenGl. As Glut has no maintainers I'm not sure if I can change this in the normal port or if this would cause serious problems. Or am I missing something? Thanks for your help, Simon [1]: http://www.bioinformatics.org/ghemical/ghemical/index.html -- + privacy is necessary + using http://gnupg.org + public key id: 0x6115F804EFB33229
