From Gerben.Wierda at rna.nl Mon May 26 13:22:52 2008 From: Gerben.Wierda at rna.nl (Gerben Wierda) Date: Mon, 26 May 2008 13:22:52 +0200 Subject: [Ii2-announce] A few new versions (i-Installer, freetype, fontconfig, ImageMagick, ghostscript, rsync) Message-ID: <524D1706-9218-4576-B302-C869A2AE9C31@rna.nl> The following updates have been released to the *EXPERIMENTAL* i- Directory @ Yale - i-Installer has been updated to version 2.89. It contains a small bugfix (displaying ANSI RTF files) and has some other small changes that I made 1.5 years ago and never released. - The freetype i-Package has been updated to version 2.3.5 - The fontconfig i-Package has been updated to version 2.5.0 (this was prevously released but it was never entered in the i-Directories) - The ImageMagick i-Package has been updated to version 6.4.1 - The ghostscript i-Package has been updated to 8.62 - A new rsync i-Package is available with rsync 3.02 (installed in / usr/local, it does not overwrite the Apple provided rsync) CAVEATs: all these have been compiled under Mac OS X Leopard. I do not have pre-Leopard systems running anymore so I cannot look at it myself, but I do expect these to work under Mac OS X Tiger or I would not have released them. With the exception of i-Installer (which i tried under Leopard), none of these have been tested.

This install is required for the non-X11 versions of my ImageMagick, FontForge and Ghostscript installs as they link dynamically to it. The X11-versions use the Apple-supplied freetype. LibPNG has been updated to 1.2.29 (interesting for developers only who want an easy ppc+x86 install). Fontconfig has been updated to 1.2.5 (interesting for developers only who want an easy ppc+x86 install) ImageMagick has been updated to 6.4.1 and linked (statically) against libpng 1.2.29 and fontconfig-1.2.5. Ghostscript has been updated to 8.62 and linked (statically) against libpng 1.2.29 and fontconfig-1.2.5. FontForge has been updated to version 20080429 and linked (statically) against libpng 1.2.29 and fontconfig-1.2.5. One reason for these updates are to get in sync with the libpng security update. All these have been compiled on Mac OS X 10.5 but should work on Mac OS X 10.4. All these require i-Installer 2.89 (a recent update) to install. I am interested in reports on any mistakes I made with packaging.

You can set the environment variable in i-Installer's preferences. If you do, some i-Packages react to it. It is mainly intended to keep my pesonal system free from the dynamic libraries so that when I build (say) ImageMagick it will not become dependent on (say) an available installation of fontconfig on the target system. Keeps installation of stuff like ImageMagick simple for most users and keeps active dependencies to a minimum.
