NEW: py-db

[macfreek (Freek Dijkstra)]

Attached you will find a new port for pydb, an extended Python debugger. I named it "py-db" to be consistent with other Python packages.

While py-db recommends the existing ddd package (together, it gives a graphical Pyhton debugger), it does not depend on it. The package consists of two files: the Portfile, and a small patch.

[macfreek (Freek Dijkstra)]

patch for the Makefile (it fixes a symlink). This file must be places in a folder "files"

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

In the interest of determinism, would it be possible to disable the ddd support by default (whether ddd is installed or not), and add a +ddd variant that adds a dependency on ddd and enables pydb's support for it?

Along those lines, if the package installs ddd by default you can use a +no_ddd variant to disable it. Both .append and .delete are available for modifying the depends and configure variables.

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

If we have a maintainer timeout, which route do we want to go with the variants: +no_ddd or +ddd?

I'd say disable it by default and have a +ddd variant for enabling it. Also, should it be called py-db or py-pydb? When going with other python versions, it becomes either py25-db or py25-pydb, the latter reads better, at least to me.

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

Warning: Line 4 should be a newline (after PortSystem)

Warning: Using full email address for no/open maintainer

Also, on the ddd thing: I don't believe it's necessary as the two do not link to each other. It merely is a way of doing the "we recommend using this additional software."

As for package name, should this be portgroup python25 1.0?

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

updated to new version — should it be in PortGroup python25?

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

fixed

attempt to add portgroup

[MarcusCalhoun-Lopez (Marcus Calhoun-Lopez)]

Attached is my take on the port.
The changes are:

• Because it uses Python 2.5, the name should be py25-db.
• The variable categories was missing.
• Obfuscate e-mail address.
• There is a setup.py, but the INSTALL files recommends "./configure; make; make install," so drop PortGroup.
• Set the PYTHON variable so that the correct python is found.
• I tried to install it in such a way that there would be no conflicts if py25-db was ever created (this means the emacs files will not be found by default).

Sorry, I meant py26-db.

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

Thanks mcalhoun! Everything is in the right paths now, it seems.

Since we were in a maintainer timeout, I'll go ahead and commit this.

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

Committed as r48634.

Please see ​https://trac.macports.org/ticket/17071

In that case, we resolved to use the name py25-pydb. As noted there, port search pydb will return nothing if you use the name 'py-db' or 'pyXX-db', please reconsider the naming convention. As it is (on my system), I'm very pleased to see this result:

[ dweber@XXXX /data/mpab ]$ port search pydb
py25-pydb @1.23 (python)

This situation is not good.

We have two tickets on the same issue (#17071 and this one).
Since this is the older, I will close #17071 and CC everyone on this ticket.

What's worse is that we now have two ports of the same software package (r48634 and r48640).

py26-pydb has several serious problems:

• It will not work because the directory (py25-pydb) and name variable (py26-pydb) are different.
• It will conflict with py26-pydb if it is ever created.

As a solution, I will

• delete py25-pydb (r48644)
• move py25-db to py25-pydb (r48646)
• add dweber as maintainer (r48646)

I think this will satisfy everyone's concerns.

I will close this ticket for now.
If there are still problems, we can reopen.

When did you commit db26-pydb?
I do not see it.

It would cause conflict because there are binaries, manpages, and emacs files installed.
Both py25-pydb and py26-pydb will want to install theses same files.

It seems to be committed now. I've tried to simplify the python version specification with a few variables at the top of the Portfile. It appears that python2.6 is providing the correct site-packages path to

${prefix}/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages

I'm sorry about the binaries, man, and emacs files, if they conflict. I've taken a quick look at the py25-pydb package and most of those custom tweaks don't seem to work with python2.6. I'm out of time today, but if someone could look into these additional files installed to resolve conflicts - please do. As it is, this is working for me, ie:

This is crazy. After I make a change to py26-pydb in my svn checkout, the system is changing files in the py25-pydb port - what is going on with my subversion process here (see terminal session below)? Note, there are no symlinks (and I don't see any hard links) between py25-pydb and py26-pydb on my file system (how can I check for hard links?). You may have to reinstate or rollback py25-pydb????

As far as I can tell, there is no py26-pydb directory on the subversion server.

I am going to take a wild guess that you used

cp -r py25-pydb py26-pydb

instead of

svn cp py25-pydb py26-pydb

Is that possible?

py25-pydb is not in a good state.
Do you want me to roll back r48659 and r48656?

Your absolutely right! Yep, I am sorry, py25-pydb is corrupted, please roll it back to the point where you did move py25-db to py25-pydb (r48646) [or something near there, before I hacked it].

It was my fault, because I ran

cd ~/macports-trunk/dports/python
cp -r py25-pydb py26-pydb

So all edits within py26-pydb carried with it the .svn module for py25-pydb, hence all my changes to py26-pydb were applied to py25-pydb. I'll never make that mistake again.

I've started with a fresh co from trunk and now added py26-pydb correctly. I hope you can see it now.

Sorry, Darren
