Summary: Review Request: xtide - Calculate tide all over the world https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=211626 ------- Additional Comments From dave@xxxxxxxxxxxx 2006-11-13 23:22 EST ------- I will split out libtcd as a separate tarball and make it build as a shared lib if a GNU/Linux environment is present. (XTide still tries to be portable to Solaris, HP-UX and others, but I have no prayer of guessing the syntax to build shared libs on every platform.) Previous transgressions notwithstanding, as of now, the libtcd version numbering convention is intended to be compatible with the shared library interpretation of soname = major rev = incompatible API, except for the COMPAT114 option. For that, I'm thinking that COMPAT114 could be made a configure option, and if enabled, the shared library is not built at all. It should also add a visible qualifier to the version string produced by the library. I will change the XTide configure script to test for existence of libtcd and barf if a compatible version isn't found. I have pinged the guy who promised to fix up the configure scripts. However that works out, I will look at the build patches attached here and see what changes I should incorporate. As for tideEditor, upon further review I think probably it should be made a separate tarball too, separate from XTide and separate from the other tcd-utils. It is the only thing here that requires Qt, and it is not on the same maintenance schedule as XTide at all, nor is it especially connected to the other tcd-utils except by historical reasons. It will be a pain updating all the references to tcd-utils but it seems like the right thing to do. Does that address everything? I hope there are no imminent deadlines looming. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
