Just an FYI, all available PostgreSQL packages have made the move to stable, and, as I understand it, will be available in the upcoming Fink binary distribution.

Right now, basically the only thing holding me back from putting KDE 3.4.0 in stable is continued packaging issues with conflicts between SSL and non-SSL packages. Hey, cool, some friends of mine are in a documentary about gaming culture called Fraglimit Hit. It's a pretty entertaining indie flick, check it out if you get the chance... Share on FacebookIt looks like the first part of our Tiger strategy is gelling pretty well. There are still plenty of packages that don't build on Tiger, but that number is surprisingly low, and we've maintained binary compatibility with 10.3 in such a way that will give is time to make the harder switch to gcc-4.0 entirely. If you update to the latest fink you should have the ability to switch to the 10.4-transitional tree on Tiger. This tree is essentially a copy of the 10.3 tree, plus some changes that were Tiger-only that have been waiting in experimental for such an occasion. Also, vasi has done some really cool stuff with indexing in fink HEAD that speeds up fink immensely (scanning the index when there are changes has gone from 40 seconds to 4 on one of my dev boxes). Fink 0.25 is gonna be a really slick release. I'm planning on moving KDE to stable sometime in the next few days. I've done some upgrade testing from 3.1.4 and it should go reasonably smooth (you may need to run "fink update-all" twice, but apt-get dist-upgrade will work once they're in the bindist). If you have any showstopper bugs, holler now! Share on FacebookI've moved all of the PostgreSQL packages to Fink 10.3 stable (for more details on what's changed, see here). These packages also work on Tiger, and are in the 10.4-transitional tree, minus 7.3, which doesn't build on OSX. (No loss, both 7.4 and 8.0 do...) Share on FacebookThis is outside of the usual scope of my posts, but too cool not to talk about. I've released updated PostgreSQL 7.3 and 7.4 packages, and a new set of packages for PostgreSQL 8.0 to Fink unstable. I did a lot of work to make sure they could be installed concurrently, to make it easy for people who are still on old databases to migrate at their leisure without forcing packagers to keep compatible with old versions. Funny thing is, a side-effect of this is that you can run 7.3, 7.4, and 8.0 concurrently if you change the port they use. 😉 I've also changed the database initialization to be deferred until the first time pgsql.sh is called, rather than doing it at package install time, which makes it easier to debug if something goes wrong. Also, I updated startup to check some of the common shared memory settings and either suggest upgrades or create an /etc/sysctl.conf for some good defaults on systems that don't have it already (which is basically all OSX installations unless a local administrator has manually created the file). Lastly, the PostgreSQL packages have been updated to now include the following libraries and addons:
There's a few more things to fix before I can move KDE to stable.
Other than that, it's looking pretty good. So I've finally realized I've just got too much stuff going on to track bugs well just through e-mail, so I've set up bugzilla on my server. It's been in unstable for a little while now and seems to be firming up. There have been a few upgrade issues but I've gotten a lot of great feedback to help debug things and get them fixed. |
