Package: xlibs Version: 4.1.0-16woody1 As discussed on IRC.
--bod 13:35 <bod> hrm... wonder why I have /etc/X11/app-defaults/app-defaults as a symlink 13:35 <Overfiend> bod: old bug, fixed for a long time 13:36 <bod> Overfiend: the symlink is dated today (just upgraded stable+security) 13:36 <Overfiend> bod: what's your version of xlibs? 13:36 <Overfiend> 4.1.0-16woody1? 13:37 <bod> Version: 4.1.0-16woody1 13:37 <Overfiend> bod: Okay. Hmm. 13:37 <Overfiend> bod: checking on it. Maybe I can clean it up in 4.2.1/4.3.0's xlibs preinst 13:38 <bod> calc: killing imake would be annoying, there are a bunch of programs which use it 13:38 <Overfiend> xlibs.postinst.in:ln -sf /etc/X11/app-defaults /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults || true 13:38 <Overfiend> bod: there's the bug 13:38 <Overfiend> bod: back then I didn't know about ln -nsf 13:39 <Overfiend> joeyh didn't either :) 13:39 <bod> I had to look the darned thing up just then :) 13:39 <Overfiend> bod: I don't know that there will ever be a non-security stable update of XFree86. 13:40 <Overfiend> bod: However, I can make 4.2.1/4.3.0 clean those up in the corresponding preinsts. 13:40 <Overfiend> bod: I don't do ln -sf anymore. 13:40 <bod> Overfiend: no biggy, just noticed it 13:40 <Overfiend> bod: can I ask you to file a normal bug about this? 13:40 <Overfiend> bod: just quoting this IRC chatter will suffice. 13:41 <bod> k 13:41 <Overfiend> bod: I need to go through branches/4.1.0/woody, identify all uses of ln -sf in the postinst, and have the modern preinst scripts clean that 13:42 <Overfiend> e.g., if [ "$1" = "install" -o "$1" = "upgrade" ] && dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt "4.2.0"; then 13:42 <Overfiend> etc. 13:42 <Overfiend> that sort of thing 13:42 <Overfiend> because I think I started shipping the symlinks post-woody. That was my plan, anyway. 13:42 <Overfiend> yup. 13:43 <Overfiend> bod: I don't use ln -sf at *all* anymore for that purpose. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
