August 2005 Archives

I've updated KDE to 3.4.2 in Fink Unstable. The most notable changes are:

• updated to 3.4.2 (heh)
• removed ssl/non-ssl distinction, now it always links against the system-provided OpenSSL; created kdelibs3-unified and kdebase3-unified, with upgrade packages for backwards-compatibility (the only split-up package left is kgpg, and the kdesdk3-svn package, which has an ssl/non-ssl variant)
• kdevelop should actually let you make ADA and C/C++ projects without bombing out (Java support is still disabled, the exception-handling code makes Apple's linker freak out)
• updated to amarok 1.3 (gotta say, it's pretty damn sweet!)
• koffice updated to 1.4.1
• KXMLEditor updated to 1.1.4
• many other miscellaneous changes

I've been getting through a lot of my package backlog in the last week or two:

• bash-completion: updated to 20050721

• ekg: updated to 1.6-rc3, unified ssl/non-ssl versions to use the system OpenSSL, fixed build to work when python (= 2.4) is not installed (but python24 is)

• libidn: updated to 0.5.18, added a -bin package so that libidn can be BuildDependsOnly

• libmpcdec3: new package, version 1.2

• libsamplerate0: new package, version 0.1.2

• libsndfile1: not my package, but it's unmaintained, so I updated it to 1.0.11

• qca: updated to use system OpenSSL

• squid: unified ssl/non-ssl versions to use system OpenSSL, updated to 2.5-STABLE10

• taglib: updated to 1.4

I've updated the PostgreSQL packages to use the system-provided OpenSSL instead of Fink's, so that I can provide packages that don't require the crypto tree. There are no code changes (other than an updated to PostGIS 1.0.3 from 1.0.2) so don't feel rushed to update, but it makes things easier for me in the long run. :)

I've updated the Fink Mono packages, everything should be completely up-to-date now as far as Mono goes. If you see any problems with them at all, please let me know.

• mono (1.1.7-1 to 1.1.8.3-1) - open-source .Net implementation

  updated to 1.1.8.3, environment cleanups

• ecj (new package, 3.1) - the eclipse java compiler

• boo (0.5.5.1651-1 to 0.5.6.1701-1) - .Net-based programming language

  updated to 0.5.6, now depends on gtksourceview-sharp 2.0, environment cleanups

• ikvm (0.14.0.1-1 to 0.18.0.0-1) - .Net-based Java implementation

  updated to 0.18.0.0, environment cleanups

• nant (0.85-0.rc3.1 to 0.85-1) - .Net build tool

  environment cleanups, updated to use mono in --debug mode

• mono-tools (new package, 1.0) - miscellaneous mono-related tools

• monodevelop (0.7-21 to 0.7-22) - .Net IDE

  updated to a 0.7 SVN snapshot, some dependency updates, and environment cleanups

• monodoc (1.0.6-1 to 1.0.7-1) - documentation tools and browser

  updated to 1.0.7, environment cleanups

• mono-xsp (1.0.9-1 to 1.0.9-2) - .Net-based web server

  environment cleanups

• gtk-sharp (1.0.10-1 to 1.0.10-2) - .Net Gtk GUI interface (Gtk1)

  got rid of the auto* junk, environment cleanups

• gtk-sharp2 (1.9.5-1 to 2.3.90-1) - .Net Gtk GUI interface (Gtk2)

  updated to 2.3.90, dep cleanups, environment cleanups, removed unnecessary patches

• gecko-sharp (2.0-1 to 2.0-2) - .Net interface to the Mozilla gecko HTML engine

  minor dep changes, environment cleanups

• gtksourceview-sharp (2.0-1 to 2.0-2) - .Net interface to the Gtk source viewing widget

  now depends on gtksourceview 1.2, environment cleanups

• libgdiplus (1.1.7-1, 1.1.8-2) - .Net System.Drawing implementation

  updated to 1.1.8

All packages were updated to depend on mono 1.1.8.3 since it's difficult to go back and test upgrades when everything was done en-masse.
