Where is the 1.3.2 dmg?
by Ryan Schmidt 26 Sep '06

26 Sep '06

I'm trying to refer someone to MacPorts as a very easy way to install some Unix software (Subversion in this case). When I installed DarwinPorts 1.0, it was very easy: I downloaded a disk image, ran the enclosed installer package, and that was it. But today when I click the Downloads link on www.macports.org I get sent to the downloads directory in the Subversion repository which offers no explanation of what I should download, and the only choices for 1.3.2 (which is still named DarwinPorts, which is confusing for newcomers who don't know that name, and which is also not at the end of the list as expected but one before the end because DarwinPorts 1.3.1 was named incorrectly with a lowercase p) seem to be DarwinPorts-1.3.2.tar.bz2 and DarwinPorts-1.3.2-archive.tar.bz2. Those names give me no information by which I could divine the difference between the two or which one I should be using, so I downloaded both to see what they were, and neither of them were a disk image. I backtracked to the 1.3.1 directory where I did find disk images. So where are the 1.3.2 disk images? Should I recommend someone download the 1.3.1 disk image and then selfupdate? Is the 1.3.1 disk image universal or only PowerPC? The name doesn't indicate. So the to-dos I see are: - Rename the Darwinports-1.3.1 directory to DarwinPorts-1.3.1 for consistency - Create universal DarwinPorts 1.3.2 disk images - On the Downloads page, link directly to these disk images - On the Downloads page, use the Universal Binary logo - Release a version of the software that is actually called MacPorts (obviously that's being worked on) I realize we're in a transition period here, but maybe some of those can be done quickly anyway? How difficult is it to create the disk image of 1.3.2, for example?

I have tried uninstall, clean and install libsdl, no luck. Also, I suspect my port registry is corrupt, since I often get complaints about reigrered port confiltcts (e.g. file exists but does not belong to any registered ports). Can it be rebuilt?

Yes that was exactly it. I hadn't checked version numbers and i had libxml 1.x installed and it kept trying to use that. Manually installing 2 fixed it. thanks for the reply.

Weird fonts and cursor with XFree86 and Windowmaker
by Tabitha McNerney 25 Sep '06

25 Sep '06

Has anyone else noticed how weird the fonts presentation is (e.g., slanted text) in the GUI of X11 based on XFree86 and Windowmaker? I also have the fontconfig, freetype and Xft2 ports installed. Also, the cursor is a white arrow that easily gets lost when the background color is white (it never used to be this way -- it was a black cursor before). If I knew how to easily take a screen snapshot in X11 with XFree86 I would do so for demonstration of the problem at hand. Is this a problem with Windowmaker not changing to reflect changes in other ports? Can anyone recommend a nice window manager to use in the event that Windowmaker is essentially deprecated? Much thanks, T.

opendarwin distfiles
by Emmanuel Hainry 25 Sep '06

25 Sep '06

Dear list, I ran into a problem while trying to install libsdl_gfx: its portfile mentions opendarwin:lt as a master_site, but cannot fetch from this place. It had to fetch http://distfiles-od.opendarwin.org/ltconfig13 and ltmain13. One: How do those master_sites work? Here, it said Error: No defined site for tag: lt, using master_sites ---> Attempting to fetch ltconfig13 from http://www.ferzkopp.net/Software/SDL_gfx-2.0/ ---> Attempting to fetch ltconfig13 from http://distfiles-od.opendarwin.org/libsdl_gfx ---> Attempting to fetch ltconfig13 from http://distfiles-msn.opendarwin.org/libsdl_gfx ---> Attempting to fetch ltconfig13 from http://distfiles-bay13.opendarwin.org/libsdl_gfx ---> Attempting to fetch ltconfig13 from http://distfiles-od.opendarwin.org/lt ---> Attempting to fetch ltconfig13 from http://distfiles-msn.opendarwin.org/lt ---> Attempting to fetch ltconfig13 from http://distfiles-bay13.opendarwin.org/lt ---> Attempting to fetch ltconfig13 from http://distfiles-od.opendarwin.org/libsdl_gfx ---> Attempting to fetch ltconfig13 from http://distfiles-msn.opendarwin.org/libsdl_gfx ---> Attempting to fetch ltconfig13 from http://distfiles-bay13.opendarwin.org/libsdl_gfx ---> Attempting to fetch ltconfig13 from http://distfiles-od.opendarwin.org/ Obviously, since those sites are quite slow, it is painful to wait for 9 bad places before finding the good one. And especially, twice in libsdl_gfx... Two: does the transition to macports/macosforge include switching distfiles? Will the opendarwin keyword disappear from all portfiles or become an alias to the new site? Hence will all users have to selfupdate port or will a sync be enough? -- Emmanuel

the modification to PATH is already there. the INFOPATH and MANPATH statements aren't but i don't think that's what's causing the problem. .bashrc is empty, not missing. perhaps that's the reason... --- Marc André Selig <mas(a)seligma.com wrote: On 24.09.2006, at 20:08, zoarre.37258548(a)bloglines.com wrote: > > > i opened up an xterm window and just as you described, the PATH > > doesn't > > include anything from /opt/local. how do you recommend i fix this? > > Add these lines to the top of ~/.profile (if that file does not > exist, create it): > > PATH=/opt/local/bin:$PATH > MANPATH=/opt/local/share/man:$MANPATH > INFOPATH=/opt/local/share/info:$INFOPATH > > export PATH MANPATH INFOPATH > > Regards, > Marc > > > >

i can launch gnucash from the terminal. i can't launch it from the x11 menu. i opened up an xterm window and just as you described, the PATH doesn't include anything from /opt/local. how do you recommend i fix this? thanks again. --- Mark Duling" <mark.duling(a)biola.edu wrote: zoarre.37258548(a)bloglines.com writes: > >this gets rid of the error message but nothing happens, neither from the > >terminal > >nor from the x11 menu. > > >i can now run gnucash from the terminal but i can't > >launch it from the x11 menu, despite followng the instructions in step 4. > > > So you can run gnu cash now?
