Buildfarm try
by Simon Ruderich 04 Nov '07

04 Nov '07

Hi all, I tried creating a small "buildfarm" using my MacBook Pro. I already have some results, but it's just a small test, so please be not too strict with it ;-) You can find the results here: http://ruderich.com/simon/macports/ But the results are some days old, so it may be possible a port is already fixed. I'm sorry but at the moment I don't have any dates. It would be nice if some of you could use these results to fix broken ports. I separated fetch failures from build/other failures so they should be easy to fix. If you have any suggestions/improvements/bugs or questions please tell me. Thanks, Simon

slrn-devel pre0.9.9-30
by Sbranzo 04 Nov '07

04 Nov '07

Hi, I wrote a portfile for slrn pre0.9.9-30, which is the latest develpment release of slrn. The sources tarball used is taken from a checkout of the snv server. I don't have the commit bit on the macports svn, and I don't know which is the right way of dealing with this sort of things. If a developer can be so kind to help me, I'll send him the tarball and the portfile so he can place them upstream. Thanks, Gufo

Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] Round 2 with Leopard+Python

FYI: On Leopard, "sudo" filters environment variables, including PYTHONPATH. I have not tested this with MacPorts yet; I've been running MacPorts as a "normal" user without sudo. Will this matter for MacPorts? > Running "sudo -V" as root shows sudo's settings; part of that is > environment variables that it will not pass on or that it will > check for dangerous content.

Per a recent discussion on this list, php is not an invalid category, despite whatever lint says.

Leopard Major Bug Taxonomy
by Anders F Björklund 01 Nov '07

01 Nov '07

These two issues are causing several ports to fail: 1) the "opengl library" bug (e.g. #12997, #13075) => ld: cycle in dylib re-exports with /usr/X11/lib/libGL.dylib See http://wiki.finkproject.org/index.php/Fink:Packaging: Preparing_for_10.5#OpenGL_Bug for instance 2) the "extern inline" bug (e.g. #13006, 13094) => ld: duplicate symbol _g_bit_nth_lsf in foo.o and bar.o See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=315437 and http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Inline.html Hopefully the root cause will be fixed by Apple in for instance Mac OS X 10.5.1 and Xcode 3.0.1... Meanwhile various ports are trying some various workarounds around these issues, in order to run. --anders

Need to reverse a commit
by markd＠macports.org 01 Nov '07

01 Nov '07

How would I reverse a commit? I want to reverse r30497 of the port vm-pop3d. I've looked a little online, but I'm in too big a hurry to sort out what I've read. Mark
