I’ve released KDE 3.3.2 to Fink unstable (both 10.2-gcc3.3 and 10.3).
These packages include a number of bugfixes on top of what is listed in the general KDE 3.3.2 change log, including:
A fix for a regression from KDE 3.2 that causes massive slowdown in library-loading upon startup of KDE or KDE apps. A modification to the esound aRts driver to hopefully make it work once enabled. Lots of build dependency fixes.
This release is seeming to be clean enough to be a candidate for release to Fink stable. Please, if you have success (or problems!) let me know so I can get this in stable.

The KMail fix is in the latest unstable kdepim3 — this was one of the last blockers for me to start considering moving a modern KDE to stable (yay!) There are a few other minor bugs, but nothing that matters too terribly much. Hopefully soon I can move that monstrocity over. Whoohoo!

Got lots more to update you on as far as Fink changes…
lots of KDE updates (including KOffice) bugfixes to a couple of 10.2-gcc3.3 packages (xscreensaver, daemonic, vim) new bash-completion (20041017) fixes to base-files new distcc (2.18.1) new libidn (0.5.10) reworked the Fink RSS news feed to validate with i18n new kxmleditor (1.1.3)
I’m testing a fix for kmail in kdepim3 right now (also, an update to libmal), and when I’m done with that, I’m caught up with most of the fink stuff that really matters to me, so I can start crackin’ on KDE/Mac again. Woot!

Minor updates and Tiger fixes for a number of packages:
libmath++ wv2 KDE automake 1.9.3 (and updated automake* and libtool14 from 10.3 to 10.2-gcc3.3) glib2 (tiger fix) libtiff (tiger fix) tetex (tiger fix) graphviz (update and tiger fix)
I’m slowly working my way through being able to build KDE on tiger with gcc4. Most of the issues I’ve run into have been very minor, let’s hope it stays that way. 😉

First, if you’re a U.S. citizen, get out there and vote!
Second, been doing a lot of work getting things cleaned up package-wise in Fink. I’ve worked through a lot of bugs and am doing final testing on fixes for the KDE packages that some folks have had problems with.
Coming down the pipe:
more tiger fixes PostgreSQL 8.0 (beta) + PostGIS KDE/Mac work ??? PROFIT! Share on Facebook

I’ve finally got qt3 playing nice with everyone’s systems (as far as I can tell), so it’s time to tackle some of the KDE bugs that are showing up. I got OpenNMS release to 10.3 unstable finally; I’m doing a test build right now to see if it can be released to 10.2-gcc3.3 as well, but I can’t imagine why it would have any OS-specific issues. Minor point-releases of PostgreSQL are also on the way, as soon as I finish some 10.2 builds, and a tomcat update as well. Also, I added simple Growl support to Fink HEAD, so it will notify you when packages are installed/removed for those long builds…

I’ve finally got KDE 3.3.1 released. There’s still work to do (updating some apps, getting kdevelop updated, etc.) but it should be good for a first run. Phear!

While I haven’t updated my blog much recently, you may have noticed I’ve been pretty busy… I got XFree86 moved to stable, and got a number of X.org releases out (the most recent includes the 6.8.1 security fixes, and should interoperate nicely dependency-wise with other X11’s as far as upgrading, as well as fix some headers that broke gnome). I’ve been making headway on KDE. Everything’s pretty solid except kdevelop and koffice (1.3.3 just got sent to packagers, I’m working on that). I’ll let you know when there’s more of interest. I also packaged a few interesting things… gnomoradio, an independent music rating/listening system, as well as applex11tools, a package to let you install XFree86 or X.org and still use Apple’s X11.app and quartz-wm (in fact, you can run XDarwin.app and X11.app simultaneously if you tell XDarwin to start on display 1. Nutty!) Another big thing I just released was a ton of java updates, including new Fink support for doing some tricks to set JAVA_HOME when building packages. tomcat4 is finally in 10.2-gcc3.3 and 10.3. Yay! I guess that’s it for now. Until next time, signing off. =)

I’ve put PostgreSQL 7.3.7 and 7.4.5 in Fink unstable. These are bugfix releases that could fix some data corruption issues in the transaction log. There are also a number of packaging fixes, including a fix to running postgresql 7.3 when 7.4 is installed. I’ve also got KDE 3.3 up to kdebase building, although there seem to be some issues in Qt3.3 PNG display (well, I’m not sure if it’s Qt or KDE yet, got some digging to do.)

Yes, it’s been quiet, but I assure you, I’ve been busy. Figured it’s time to post an update as to what’s going on.
Mono
I’ve got Mono 1.0.1 all put together, just need to do some final testing and put it out. Sorry, there still is no modern mono on 10.2-gcc3.3, it refuses to build and I haven’t found a solution yet.
KDE
I got various builds of KDE 3.3 beta working, and it seems to have shaped up pretty well. KDE 3.3 is being uploaded right now and will go live very soon, I’m working on getting everything updated to KDE 3.3 final and I’ll see if things will be ready for release… well… sometime. 😉
PostgreSQL
It looks like the major problems in the PostgreSQL packages have been ironed out now. I’m working on putting together a PostgreSQL 8.0 package, too, with the 8.0 beta.
X.org X Server
The new release of the X.org X Server is coming, and I’m going to work on packaging that up as well. I’ve got a package in my exp tree but haven’t actually tried building it yet. 😉
I’ll keep you updated, . . . → Read More: Fink Updates
