From the Fink Wiki
Goals
- Version update (preferably highest stable-branch version, okay if higher than that present in the target Gnome 2.x, or even if part of a higher Gnome 2.x)
- Update deps according to pkg requirements (add versioning as required by each package, not based on what is currently in fink or what is present in the target Gnome 2.x)
- Switch to gettext3
- Depends: gettext→libgettext3-shlibs
- BuildDepends: gettext-dev→libgettext3-dev
- Add gettext-bin and/or gettext-tools as needed.
- Add libiconv* deps as needed.
- Put -ssl variants first in alternative dependencies (gnome-vfs2 and others). We have gnome-vfs2-unified as of 1:2.15.2-1 now, but not required to switch from the variants list (there are compatibility packages).
- Make sure static libs are built
- Add
ConfigureParams: --disable-dependency-tracking
- .info and .deb validation
- Fix scrollkeeper usage (see
fink info scrollkeeper)
- Fix gconf usage (see
fink info gconf2)
- Check with
--build-as-nobody
- Check locale/ (gettext message catalog) usage:
- Place locale/ files in the package whose binaries use them (or in a package that is a dependent of that package)—remember Replaces field if moving them!
- Make sure the domain is orthogonal enough for Shlibs orthogonality
- Deprecate %N if %N-dev and %N-shlibs contain everything
- Add Depends to %N to make sure other packages' Depends:%N still gets the same results
- Adjust dependencies on %N to point to %N-dev or %N-shlibs (with versioning as appropriate) depending on what %N used to contain and its former dependencies:
- Switch
glib2 dependency to glib2-shlibs (>= 2.12.0-1)
- Switch all
glib2* dependencies to >= 2.12.0-1 in both 10.3 and 10.4 to avoid bogus >=2.6.6-1111 from 10.4 transition.
- Switch all
orbit2* dependencies to >= 2.14.2-1, which may eliminate propagated popt dependencies.
- Switch all
libbonobo2* dependencies to >= 2.16.0-1, which may eliminate propagated popt dependencies.
- NB: only do these when releasing new Version so that we don't force arbitrary rebuilding and "high" Revision in 10.3
- Therefore, upgrade in dependency order starting at the bottom of the tree
- Make sure GCC field presence/absence is correct
- Verify whether 10.4 needs a "high" revision (+=1000 due to GCC:4.0 or dependencies on 10.4-specific high revisions of other packages).
- Check for .pc files moved to share/ (requires adding
Depends: pkgconfig (>= 0.20-1))
Packaging Status
- Fink: Version in Fink unstable, 10.4 (powerpc). Star when checked and upgraded if necessary—please work in order up the dep tree!
- 2.x: Minimum version for Gnome 2.x.
- Notes: what's waiting for what or whom
- color-code: up-to-date needs updating or is broken unknown
