I have set up a personal repo, can you look at the packages to see if they are any good?

can you join #foresight-devel on freenode (IRC) ?

Andrew,

We didn't get to chat much when you joined #foresight-devel a few days ago, but I've taken a look at your recipes along with Zhang Sen (jesse in IRC) and many of them look good. So if you want to try your hand at packaging for FL for real, we definitely have a spot open

One suggestion comes to mind when reading through the recipes you have already created. If we take your synce recipe as an example, your recipe uses:

    def unpack(r):
        r.addArchive('mirror://sourceforge/synce/libsynce-0.11.tar.gz')

The best current practice is to do:

    def unpack(r):
        r.addArchive('mirror://sourceforge/%(name)s/libsynce-%(version)s.tar.gz')

Which avoids the need for you to change the name (rare) or version (happens often) in a recipe when bumping it to a newer version.

Ok, I think I'm done spamming this issue for now

Note that this also illustrates that discretion is advised if a package name and its download name are different.

Hi, Andrew. Welcome, and if you like to join, feel free to drop in the discussion on the mailing list or IRC.

I will close this issue, since it's not really a 'package request'.
