Re: [Ifeffit] new Debian packages of horae-033

Mauro: I stopped making testing packages a little while ago because I removed testing from my machines. The reason was security. The delay in packages being moved into testing causes security patches to languish, leaving the machine more vulnerable. In that sense, both stable and unstable are "better". That being said, it should be possible for you to build your own versions of the packages using apt-get source I will look into the error you describe. Thanks for letting me know about it. Once I have the proposal I am writing out the door, I should be able to figure it out. Carlo On Wed, 14 Apr 2004, mauro@rulp.org wrote:

Hello All:

There are now new Debian packages of the latest horae available. Bruce, I

Hello,

I have installed the new Debian packages and I would like to express some comments.

First of all, I thank Carlo to maintain the package (with "apt-get" now it's very fast to upgrade horae).

I use Debian "testing". Installing by the "unstable" package doesn't work because need pgplot5 (>5.2.2-5) - I have pgplot5_5.2.2-4 - so I have to install the "stable". It could be an idea to compile the Debian package also for the "testing" distribution.

According to the Debian official guidelines, I install software not included in the official distribution in the directory "/usr/local". The package install itself in the "/usr/share". This made problems with the previous installed horae-* because the Perl-Ifeffit libraries were installed in "/usr/local/lib". The rude solution is simply renaming the old "Paths.pm" and "Group.pm" (in *.old).

Hephaestus doesn't start. It gives me the following error:

Name "Ifeffit::Tools::libdir" used only once: possible typo at /usr/bin/hephaestus line 97. Cannot open '/hephaestus/vulcan.gif' in mode 'r' at /usr/lib/perl5/Tk/Image.pm line 21.

These are only "comments", after all the installation was fine and the software is working as well as usual.
