tsung-1.3.1 -- tsung_stats.pl references system perl

[aaronbrashears@…]

The first line of tsung_stats.pl reads:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

And should probably instead refer to the ports perl so that the p5-template-toolkit is found.

#!/opt/local/bin/perl -w

On Mac 10.5, without going into CPAN to meet the dependency tsung_stats.pl dumps:

Can't locate Template.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ...) at /opt/local/lib/tsung/bin/tsung_stats.pl line 365.

Please remember to fill in the Port field.

My bad, I thought I filled it in. Thanks!

What is the correct way to patch the perl file? Should we assume that macports is installed in /opt? Or should we use some sort of "/usr/bin/env perl" to find the macports perl?

I have the same problem as listed on this ticket. Changing the tsung_stats.pl file like described fixed the issue for me as well.

[danielluke (Daniel J. Luke)]

You don't want to hardcode /opt/local but you can use ${prefix} to patch the file.

You can either just use reinplace to fix it in the Portfile, or you can use a patch + reinplace (the patch would put in a placeholder that you update with reinplace to ${prefix})

Setting it to /usr/bin/env perl is maybe OK (depends on the script), but it may run with system perl on some people's systems that way, so if you want it to always use macports perl (which is a good idea for non-trivial scripts), then you don't want to use that method.

This also affects tsung-1.3.3.

In reality there at least four scripts in /opt/local/lib/tsung that need to be changed (3 perl scripts and 1 python script):

$ find /opt/local/lib/tsung/ -type f | xargs head -n 1

##
## Output edited to show only the 4 scripts that need to be changed

==> /opt/local/lib/tsung/bin/log2tsung.pl <==

[jpo@…]

Note: the above scripts - /opt/local/lib/tsung/bin/tsung-rrd.pl and /opt/local/lib/tsung/bin/tsung_stats.pl - were manually changed by me.

Note 2: the perl script also needs the perl module RRDs.pm that is supplied by the rrdtool port (not on the tsung requirements list).

tsung portfile patch - perl and python interpreters location; rrdtool requirement

[jpo@…]

The attached patch does the following:

• bumps revision to 1
• adds the port rrdtool to the requirements list
• changes the interpreter pathname of the 4 mentioned scripts to ${prefix}/bin/{perl,python}
