Fixed in -2

I'm not sure the binary is fully functional (there are some undefined
behaviors in the timestamp handling), but the underlying gnulib is bit
of a moving target from the packaging perspective.

I have been running 'sudo fink selfupdate'.  I ran it again just now, since

Thanks so much Hanspeter for your help and advice.

Per your suggestion, i did run 'sudo fink selfupdate-git'.

It asked for 'the user login name that should be used'.

I replied with 'danh1', without the quotes, and i'm pretty sure this is
correct because i queried github with 'what is my account name' to get it
right.

fink then failed (exit status 1) with the message 'The user "danh1" does
not exist on the system.'

So i tried 'sudo fink selfupdate-git' again, and this time i just hit the
carriage return (as you wrote) and it went off and did a huge amount of
compilation (33k lines).

It exited with status code 0, but it did print a message that 'Some index
files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.'

I then tried 'sudo fink selfupdate'.  This ran quickly, and exited with the
same message (still status 0) and recommended running scanpackages.  So i
ran 'sudo fink scanpackages', which was similar: 0 exit status, but a
warning.

In all cases, the problem seems to center around: 'Failed to fetch
http://bindist.finkmirrors.net/10.15/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-x86_64/Packages
 404 Not Found [IP: 104.21.19.95 80]'

Could this just be a temporary situation, and i should just try again
later?   (Is this just another manifestation of the rsync mirror being
down?)  That would be my default plan.

Or maybe there's something else i should do?

Thanks again for your help!!

Welcome back. I think the rsync mirror is currently down. You can switch 
method by running `fink selfupdate-git`, which will switch you (you can 
just run `fink selfupdate` afterwards). If you don't have a github 
account, you can just skip the questions when it asks for your username.

Hi Hanspeter Niederstrasser,

You mentioned that Safari (or others?) can be used but md5 chech would not be done by Safari.

If that is the case,  pls let me know how can we download xmkmf by Fink syatem ??  Now Fink is unable to DL.

[Fink-beginners] After a 2-year hiatus, sudo fink selfupdate fails

[Dan H. <dan...@gm...>]

My fink version is 0.45.6 and my macos is Catalina, 10.15.7.

I haven't used fink since July 2023.

But i would like to install a certain fink package, so i tried to run
sudo fink selfupdate

I actually tried 3 or 4 times over the last 24 hours.

Every time it fails during rsyncing, and the error is the same: code 10.

I'd appreciate any help or information or suggestions on how to deal with
the situation, and thanks in advance.

The netcdf-c7 and netcdf-c18-shlibs packages are just the library 
(dylib) from the previous versions. They should not affect each other or 
cause problems with other software. The netcdf-bin package contains the 
end user programs and you can see from the version string (4.9.3) that 
it goes with the netcdf-c22 package.

If you do want to remove the older versions because you no longer need 
them,

fink remove netcdf-c18-shlibs netcdf-c7-shlibs

I installed netcdf-c22 as suggested.  This is what mt netcdf list looks like now.  Will the c18 and c7 files cause problems?
If so, how do I get rid of them.

I've seen similar errors with other packages (incompatible conversions) when building with Xcode 15+ and they're generally a pain to fix. Given netcdf-c7's age, I highly suggest moving to a newer netcdf package (netcdf-c22 is the latest).

Are you trying to build netcdf-c7 on its own or as part of another 
package? Nothing in the active tree is still using the old netcdf-c7 
release (circa 2012). I've seen similar errors with other packages 
(incompatible conversions) when building with Xcode 15+ and they're 
generally a pain to fix. Given netcdf-c7's age, I highly suggest moving 
to a newer netcdf package (netcdf-c22 is the latest).

Hi all !

Follow error messages,firstly deleted gd2-jpeg-boolean.patch, etc . Then command line tool reinstalled (which seemed to be deleted in complex operation)

> mkdir -p ~/src
> cd src
> git clone https:/github.com/fink/fink fink-upstream
> cd fink-upstream

ran ./inject.pl.  I found some pending file such as cmake etc was to install (fink selfupdate-git).  It is the newest install of Sequoia 15.7.1.

Hi Scott Hannahs, Hanspeter Niederstrasser,and fink experts,

A) I am afraid I am unable to understand what you mentioned on git command.
I wonder if why such error message appears this time, even now that I have the correct “services.pm” file as done before.

error: The following untracked working tree files would be overwritten by merge:
	10.9-libcxx/stable/main/finkinfo/graphics/gd2-jpeg-boolean.patch
	10.9-libcxx/stable/main/finkinfo/graphics/gd2-nox-jpeg-boolean.patch
	10.9-libcxx/stable/main/finkinfo/graphics/libtheora0-shlibs.info

(Note: TimeMachine data of 10.20.2025 was left when macOS was recovered by Apple standard process. Fink data would not be stored on TimeMachine??)


c) Watching the above, I guess it would be impossible to retlieve overwritten original files. I had better start the following Fink essential commands;

mkdir -p ~/src
cd src
git clone https:/github.com/fink/fink fink-upstream
cd fink-upstream

I have never done same this Fink operation two times on the same macOS. (So far on 2nd time after updating macOS and done)  How do you think it is ok?

Re: [Fink-beginners] Fink selfudate-git error in 15.7.1

[Scott H. <sha...@us...>]

Dear a_sk,

Why are you manually using git?!!!

You will have problems using the user akios if you have a standard fink install, since all the package files are set to root and read only for group and others.

What is wrong with using “fink self-update” as you showed in your note.  If your system is not set to use git, then run “fink self-update-git” ONCE and then revert to the plain self-update for subsequent updates that will then use git as a default.

Not sure what you have recovered or changed about your setup, but you may have munged up the fink installation to the point where it will be difficult to fix.

So now that you have the correct “services.pm” file in place, what happens if you do a “fink self-update” ????

-Scott

[Fink-beginners] ReRe: Fink selfudate-git error in 15.7.1

[<a_...@me...>]

Due to Mac OS(Sequoia 15.7.1) trouble, I recovered macOS data to "some day’s TimeMachine data" (after make OS perfectly clean).

On said day happened to be one when I'd corrected “Services.pm" in /opt/sw/lib/perl5/Fink/Services.pm by 
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fink/fink/refs/heads/master/perlmod/Fink/Services.pm

Fink on recovered Mac shows the same error(I am afraid corrected Services.pm one was not kept now)

Then Services.pm was corrected by the same rule (https:// ….).  But different errors occurred as follows;

Please note: the simple command 'fink selfupdate' should be used for routine
updating; you only need to use a command like 'fink selfupdate-cvs' or 'fink
selfupdate --method=rsync' if you are changing your update method. 


I will now run the git command to retrieve the latest package descriptions. The
'su' command will be used to run the git command as the user 'akios'. After
that, the core packages will be updated right away; you should then update the 
other packages using commands like 'fink update-all'.

/usr/bin/su akios -c ‘/usr/bin/git fetch —quiet origin'
/usr/bin/su akios -c '/usr/bin/git checkout --quiet master'
/usr/bin/su akios -c '/usr/bin/git merge --ff-only --quiet origin/master'

Re: [Fink-beginners] Fink selfudate-git error in 15.7.1

[<a_...@me...>]

Dear Hanspeter Niederstrasser and others,

I took the same raplacement done on Sonoma that included Sequoia case (I guess on Tahoes, shall be somewhat modifies).
Then I’ve tried “Fink selfupdate-git”, which works without troubles.

Re: [Fink-beginners] Fink selfudate-git error in 15.7.1

[<a_...@me...>]

Dear Hanspeter Niederstrasser and Fink experts,

1) I’ve reminded the similar situation in Sonoma (ref: See the following mail). 
It was concluded   "the Fink bug.”  

Shall I do the same replacement cited or others, if that is the case, please show me?  
I wonder if such Fink bug was still realized (!?)

2) At that time, new Mac version Sequoia(waiting much) was newly installed, as the reply had reached me late.  After some understadable trouble(need my try and errors), it finally worked well.

(I should have updated new version “Tahoes”, not toutch minor version up.   Do you think which is preferable)

[Fink-beginners] Fink selfudate-git error in 15.7.1

[<a_...@me...>]

Hi all

Today I have updated macOS Sequoia 15.6.1 to 15.7.1 (so called security update by Apple).
I re-installed "Command_Line_Tools_for_Xcode_16.4.dmg” just for confirmation(so far installed and no troubles)

Log is as follows;

$ fink selfupdate-git
Password:
Use of uninitialized value in numeric eq (==) at /opt/sw/lib/perl5/Fink/Services.pm line 1459.
15.7 does not match the expected value of 15.6. Please run `fink selfupdate` to download a newer version of fink at /opt/sw/lib/perl5/Fink/Services.pm line 1459.


What’s happened by this update? And what shall I do simply ??
