Actually, Apple has always traditionally reserved uids < 500 for its own use. We simply haven't passed 100 yet. :-) - Jordan On Apr 7, 2007, at 11:52 AM, source_changes(a)macosforge.org wrote: > nextuid and nextgid now return the first uid/gid > 100 rather than > the max + 1 > This means that new users created with adduser are not visible on > the login screen. > Also it was kinda silly to create a new user/group with id 502 when > 100-499 were available >

Ticket 11275 - please commit py-m2crypto update to 0.17
by Eric Tiffany 09 Apr '07

09 Apr '07

[I sent this message to the list about a month ago, but no response. Perhaps it slipped through the cracks.] I applied this patch in this ticket 11275 to the py-m2crypt portfile (updates from 0.16 to 0.17) and installed. Seemed to work fine. Could someone please commit? Thanks, ET

Adding additional arguments to daemondo
by Blair Zajac 07 Apr '07

I have dhcpd running on a iMac that is on a wireless network (no wired) and when the system boots, because the wireless network is on yet, DHCP starts from launchd, but immediately fails: === Not configured to listen on any interfaces! If you did not get this software from ftp.isc.org, please get the latest from ftp.isc.org and install that before requesting help. === I was able to get it to work by adding <string>--restart-netchange</string> to /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.dhcpd.plist so when the wireless network comes up, it restarts and dhcpd works, but there doesn't appear to be a way to do this in looking through portstartupitem.tcl. If there's a way to append or prepend to args, then this could be added. Any suggestions?

Version dependency
by Sean Fulton 07 Apr '07

07 Apr '07

I want to make a change to a port that requires a change in another port. The ports are gdal and proj. The current versions of proj and gdal have problems such that gdal cannot dynamically link proj. In order for dynamic linking to work, I need to upgrade proj to version 4.5.0. I've already submitted a patch that upgrades gdal statically links proj. I'd like to change the gdal patch to dynamically link proj but the update to proj will have to go in simultaneously. What are the chances of that happening? Is there a way to make that happen? Is there a mechanism to make dependencies based on version? Thanks, Sean

antigraingeometry vs SDL_VERSION
by Jochen Küpper 07 Apr '07

07 Apr '07

Hi! Another problem I get whle trying to install py-matplotlib: This wants to install antigraingeometry; however, this fails with checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for FREETYPE... yes ./configure: line 20336: syntax error near unexpected token ` $SDL_VERSION,' ./configure: line 20336: `AM_PATH_SDL($SDL_VERSION,' Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. I have no idea what SDL_VERSION should be, and a google-search did not turn up much either:( Any help or hint is appreciated.

libtool problem with MacPorts 1.4
by Jochen Küpper 07 Apr '07

07 Apr '07

Hi, first of all thank you all for all the work you are doing on MacPorts, I really like it a lot. I really just came to the Mac because the Intel MacBooks are so nice Unix machines;) The first question I have here: I just performed a port selfupdate to 1.4.0 yesterday and now try to install python24 / py-numpy / matplotlib with it. The first point that raises is the following: It installed the gcc42 port, and I do habe /opt/local/bib/gcc-dp-4.2 and such. How is one suppposed to ensure these are actually used? I have set CC, CXX, and friends accordingly and have /opt/local/bin first in the path, but the ports are still build using gcc-4.0 from Apple. Moreover, I encounter a build-problem for python24 with libtool (the MacPorts one): [...] ranlib libpython2.4.a /opt/local/bin/ginstall -c -d -m 755 Python.framework/Versions/2.4 libtool -o Python.framework/Versions/2.4/Python -dynamic libpython2.4.a \ -lSystem -lSystemStubs -arch_only i386 -install_name /opt/ local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/Python - compatibility_version 2.4 -current_version 2.4 libtool: unrecognized option `-o' Try `libtool --help' for more information. make: *** [Python.framework/Versions/2.4/Python] Error 1 If I change to the build directory cd /opt/local/var/db/dports/build/ _opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dp orts_lang_python24/work/Python-2.4.3 and run the program by hand using the Apple libtool, everything seems fine: sudo /usr/bin/libtool -o Python.framework/Versions/2.4/Python - dynamic libpython2.4.a -lSystem -lSystemStubs -arch_only i386 - install_name /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/ 2.4/Python -compatibility_version 2.4 -current_version 2.4 I can then continue the port install, which works, and python also seems to work nicely so far, I can also continue to install py-numpy. Any comments on what I might be doing wrong? tests I should perform? Thank you for your help in advance!

E-mail address change
by Sean Fulton 06 Apr '07

06 Apr '07

I was maintainer on a couple ports with an old e-mail address that I no longer have access to: fulton(a)cmu.edu How do I get the e-mail address on those ports changed? I'd like to update them. Should I just submit a port enhancement ticket with my new address? Sean

Dealing with tarballs that tarbomb
by Blair Zajac 06 Apr '07

06 Apr '07

The scala tarball doesn't extract into a new subdirectory and instead just extracts into the directory where you run tar, i.e. a tarbomb. So in work/, you see a bin/ and a share/ directory. Is there an easy, clean way to deal with this in MacPorts? I looked at specifying some extract options, but I didn't see anything. I tried passing the ${distname} to tar -C's option to create the subdirectory, but this doesn't work, since the directory to put it in doesn't exist yet. It looks like another way is to hack it into configure to move the directories down a level, but this doesn't seem clean. Any ideas? Regards, Blair

MacPorts v1.4.0 release announcement
by James Berry 06 Apr '07

06 Apr '07

The MacPorts project is pleased to announce the release of MacPorts v1.4.0. Change log is at <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ browser/tags/release_1_4_0/base/ChangeLog>. Downloads are available at <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/ macports/browser/downloads/MacPorts-1.4.0>. Thanks to all project members who contributed to this release, and especially to Juan Manuel Palacios, who served as release manager. Bugs may be filed at the <http://www.macports.org/?page_id=8>. We plan to release a v1.4.1 within weeks with some ongoing enhancements. Please note that our official plan is to build disk images only for 1.x.0 releases, and let subsequent point releases selfupdate from there. If you have a previous release of MacPorts installed, the easiest path to MacPorts 1.4.0 is simply "sudo port selfupdate". — MacPorts team
