I previously posted about how to build tsocks on Mac OS X.
Leveraging that work, I created my first Fink package, a package for tsocks. It’s in the package submission queue waiting for the Fink team to review it. In the meantime, here’s the .deb file that I built.
Creating a fink package is pretty easy and is quite similar to creating a FreeBSD port. I learned how to do it by following the packaging tutorial and browsing some of the Packaging Manual.
BTW, the DarwinPorts port of tsocks is fixed now.
Cool, thanks for letting me know, Mark!
Hey, do you still plan to update/package tsocks for fink? It would be too great, I don’t really feel like having both, darwinports and fink, installed on my machine because my disk space on the system is rather limited – i know it’s half of an argument… Yet tsocks looks really great is hanging there in the queue and i seem to lack the intelligence to make it work ‘on my own’ (i tried with the .deb you packaged)…
The configuration file i put in /sw/etc/tsocks.conf is simple and looks legit but somehow anything i try to run through tsocks doesn’t seem to use those settings – validateconf and inspectsocks might come to rescue before I publicly embaress myself in public because of some trivial configuration mistake. 🙂
Thank You,
Jan
