This is not the linker's way of working, but this is the way dependencies
must be handled to find about update issues.
naddy@ agrees, nobody else gives a fuck.
LIB_DEPENDS are no longer part of ALWAYS_DEPEND for the new-depends code,
but use their own code.
The code does scan the list of libraries for dependent packages, and insert
corresponding @libdepend lines into the resulting package. There are a few
important consequences:
- no libdepend lines are inserted if only a static library is found. So
RUN_DEPENDS are now needed to supplement LIB_DEPENDS if a package requires
another package for something that isn't a library.
- dependency checking for installed stuff can go one step further, since
we have the major/minor number of the libraries used for the build.
At the moment, pkg resolve dependencies does nothing smart with the
inserted libdepends, but it will (soon). In fact, for most libdepends, if
the major/minor scheme are correct, no check on the installed pkgspec ought
to be necessary... which is why the `default pkgspec to check' is pkg-* for
libraries.
- resolving recursive run dependencies need to go one step further: a
RUN_DEPENDS pkg may have some LIB_DEPENDS, and the RUN_DEPENDS pkg will be
needed to explicitly write the required information into the resulting
package... Hence the necessity of being able to tune the list of libraries
to ask the uninstalled package (and to make sure the uninstalled package
is built).
This is only preliminary work. Currently, this doesn't yield any real
benefits to the old approach, as a few semantic details need to be
sharpened out. Also, there are now quite a few old targets that are a
complete mess and will need to be cleaned up/removed entirely.
Thanks to naddy@ for testing various preliminary versions of this patch
and helping me iron bugs out.
no longer relies on ldconfig, but rather on the path stored inside
LIB_DEPENDS. Introduce a lib_resolve_fragment that can be used to
resolve the libraries from a given list (e.g., listlibs).
To be used in the next patch.
Note that this check is currently more or less equivalent to the old
check, apart from the fact that:
- libs can't trust packages,
- lib-depends always resort to non-shared libraries, even on shared
architectures, if the shared check doesn't work.
individual port, introduce a new variable for bsd.port.mk, VMEM_WARNING.
By setting this variable to `Yes', the user is given a warning about the
virtual memory requirements just before the pre-build stage.
o Also give some examples for different shells for what to do about
it, and mention login.conf(5). bash, for example, has a confusing
-v flag to ulimit.
o Document this in bsd.port.mk.5
espie@ ok
Useful for modules support: now specific modules can require later
versions of bsd.port.mk.
Of course, ports using modules may need an update to 1.486 to use
this feature.
The chroot is needed to avoid having ldd pick up dependent libraries
that come from a package variant and are actually not needed as
dependencies.
Scan /usr, /usr/X11R6 for system libraries, and WRKINST for packaged
libraries.
Some testsuites use HOME to test their getenv function. Which seems
to be reasonable. But we definitely don't want to allow HOME into
MAKE_ENV by default.
the maintainer made a mistake, and turn everything to No.
Record it as _BAD_LICENSING for describe purpose.
Yep, having this as ERRORS is obnoxious.
Then, we can rely on PERMIT_* always being defined.
Rewrite ftp-packages/cdrom-packages to use more current rules. Fixes
naddy's issue of ignoring IGNORE. Use a .for loop, since those rules
are basically identical.
No longer use them to try and record port logging, as we have a much better
script to do that.
`Enhance' bulk-packages to do ftp-packages/cdrom-packages linking as well,
so that one single sweep of the tree should be enough for everything.
(to deal with a common shared Cygnus configure)
Move MODGNU_configure definition to gnu.port.mk. Should have done that on
creation.
Typo in brad's hack (to be superseded shortly anyways)
This can speed up some iterations, as a dependency won't be checked more
than once. This also allows for make extract NO_DEPENDS=Yes, then later
to have the dependencies pulled in at configure stage (even though this
might not work all the time, as some dependencies may be needed earlier
but then you'll certainly notice).
- allow for several libraries, separated by commas.
- try to heed dependency most closely. Notably, make sure the spec
stops at a sensible place. This may break some ill-formed dependencies.
Turns out this can be done based on target, directly, instead of
relying on /nonexistent.
One step closer to turning TRUST_PACKAGES=Yes on by default...
of sourceware.cygnus.com (also known as sources.redhat.com))
o Modify bzip2 and gsl ports to use this new master_site (gnats
remains to be fixed: no reply from maintainer)
o Bump NEED_VERSION on those ports
maintainers of the ports ok: brad@, rohee@
This is work-in-progress. Supplemental hooks will be added when they
become necessary.
The goal is to permit separate subsystems to tweak the package building
process slightly. This should help e.g., python or qt2, for instance.
Documentation will come when it's tested more thoroughly...
work-* is too long, because we want to include the PKGNAME in the dir name
(so that PKGNAME changes are less likely to work with old work directories)
Change the way clean works, so that you can say
make clean='dist depends packages' and have it do what you think it should
do.
Common fragment to _create_wrkobjdir.
Put some info into PACKAGING (name of subpackage being built)
Since those are mostly infrastructure-side, making SUBPACKAGE transparent
only adds to the confusion, so don't interpolate SUBPACKAGE into
FULLPKGNAME, hiding it into _FULLPKGNAME, but rather let FULLPKGNAME
tag the main package, and use FULLPKGNAME-foo for subpackage -foo.
This will simplify some other stuff...
- define _FULLPKGNAME* and _PKGFILE*. Use _PKGFILE* as package cookie
instead of package_done.
- use ${PKG_DBDIR}/${_FULLPKGNAME${SUBPACKAGE}/+CONTENTS as install cookie.
- BIN_PACKAGES variable. If set to yes, remove coupling between
PACKAGE_COOKIE and dependencies, so that binary packages exist
independently of working directories.
- mark packages as precious.
- change all refs to PKGFILE to _PKGFILE${SUBPACKAGE}.
- add bulk-packages target.
Note that BIN_PACKAGES and TRUST_PACKAGES are off by default.
This interface is likely to change. The name bulk-packages will probably
change as well.
We will probably get rid of the old PKGFILE/FULLPKGNAME (taking SUBPACKAGE
into account) and use the new PKGFILE/FULLPKGNAME
PKGFILE-foo/FULLPKGNAME-foo instead (with explicit subpackage information).
This is less confusing and simpler.
