Re: [Fink-users] openSSL version 3.6.1

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

Dan,

I think I submitted a PR for lftp and the stable ncftp are both working in fink AFAIK.  I use them both for my duplicity package.

Probably. And OS X doesn't have an ftp CLI recently (and fink's doesn't build).

Done (applies to all openssl libversions).

[Fink-users] openSSL version 3.6.1

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

An update to OpenSSL was just pushed to master, updating OpenSSL to version 3.6.1.  However, the secondary source field in the dot-info file points to a URL that does not exist.  There is no ftp.openssl.org <http://ftp.openssl.org/>.  I have no idea how long that has been true, but as long as someone is updating it, probably should just drop that secondary source field.

Robert,

Thanks, I should look at my own notes.  I had tried to bootstrap a new installation rather than inject an update.

Re: [Fink-users] Problem with fink / tahoe

[Robert W. <chu...@gm...>]

In my Notes app I keep this information, which works for me, currently "fink selfupdate -git" is also working for me:

the following should update your fink installation:
mkdir -p ~/src
 cd src
 git clone https://github.com/fink/fink fink-upstream
 cd fink-upstream
 git pull
 sudo cp perlmod/Fink/Services.pm /opt/sw/lib/perl5/Fink/Services.pm
 ./inject.pl


OR:

date; cd ~/src/fink-upstream; git pull; sudo cp perlmod/Fink/Services.pm /opt/sw/lib/perl5/Fink/Services.pm; ./inject.pl; date; cd ~/


Let us know if it works!

[Fink-users] Problem with fink / tahoe

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

So, I updated to Tahoe after waiting for many months.  And I injected the new fink file Services.pm so all should be well.

BUT, if I do a self-update, fink tries to update fink and reverts the Services.pm file and fails.  Likewise any build that requires fink tries to update fink and thus fails.  Fink is version 0.45.99 but the database says it is not installed, so it tries to install it again leading to failure.

The same issue arises if I try to bootstrap a new version of fink.  Or even if I use dpkg to install the fink deb file directly.  Somehow fink does not know that it is already installed.

Do I need to create a new OS version 26 fink install package that patches the Services.pm file?  I really didn’t want to get to that point, but that is all I have left.

It builds, but can't do anything with it besides running `foo --version`

Thanks for the pointer.

New package: 
dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-x86_64/sci/cernlib2025_2025.09.18.4-1_darwin-x86_64.deb

So that's a monolithic package with everything that gets installed. Will 
slowly try to split if up to resemble cernlib2006.

Hanspeter,

You can download the source from https://cernlib.web.cern.ch/version.html

Or for other information: https://cernlib.web.cern.ch/cernlib/

No login required.

I tried logging in to https://gitlab.cern.ch/ and see the new cernlib 
but get unauthorized access errors.

Is there any other way to get the gitlab code? If the license is 
distributable, then we can put the tarball on Sourceforge and update to 
avoid dealing with 19 year old code.

Re: [Fink-users] Fink install error(macOSSequoia 15.7.2)

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

Code is probably missing
     #include <stdlib.h>
     #include <xlocale.h>
Check if there is an upstream update.

Probably shouldn’t cross post to both fink lists.  Fink Users is fine.

[Fink-users] nodejs source is missing

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

Fink stalls on installing nodejs because it can’t find the source either the master copy or the fink copy.  Fortunately I have a copy of the source on my second machine and copied it from there.  But a new copy needs to be in the source distributions.

The file seems to be a Debian only copy?

nodejs_12.22.5\~dfsg-2\~11u1.debian.tar.xz

Yes, I know the current version is 25.2.1 but I am on travel starting tomorrow and the Debian only source means there are tricks to the install or interactions I am not ready to deal with at the moment.

The fatal error during the dpkg-bootstrap build is .gmo files not being 
present, which is caused by a lack of msgmerge. ./configure checks for 
it and reports 'no', so why is it using it? Also, msgmerge comes from 
gettext-tools, which dpkg-bootstrap should not need.

On my test system, where it says 'making all in po', I just get
"Nothing to be done for `all'." and goes to the next directory.

So something is happening that's telling your system to go into that 
directory when it should be skipped...

[Fink-users] further error in compiling gcc12

[Franchetti, G. Dr. <G.F...@gs...>]

Hello, 

Following the warning of the compilation process, I have moved away *gmp* from /usr/local/lib
Now, trying to compile gcc12, the previous warning disappears. 
However, a new error appears. See below

[Fink-users] Failed: phase compiling: gcc12-12.2.0-3 failed

[Franchetti, G. Dr. <G.F...@gs...>]

Hello, 

I have reinstalled fink almost completely. I miss gcc12, which fails to compile. 
It gives this warning

-----WARNING-----WARNING-----WARNING-----
You seem to have GMP installed in /usr/local.
This is known to cause gcc12 to fail to build.
Please move aside /usr/local and try again.
-----WARNING-----WARNING-----WARNING-----


Do I really have to do that?
This never happened in earlier compilations.
