#29093 assigned defect

changing $worksrcdir break the build when using git.fetch or hg.fetch

Reported by: ci42 Owned by: raimue (Rainer Müller)
Priority: Normal Milestone: MacPorts Future
Component: base Version: 1.9.2
Keywords: haspatch Cc: raimue (Rainer Müller), tvb377@…, cooljeanius (Eric Gallager), anddam (Andrea D'Amore)
Port:

Description

git/hg fetch the source code directly into $worksrcpath. If your port need to change the $worksrcdir (e.g. the source to be built is in a subdirectory) the build fails because $worksrcpath is defined as $workpath/$worksrcdir and the source is now in the wrong directory. See the attached portfile for an example that demostrates this behavior.

The suggested patch uses $workpath/$distname as the location for git/hg fetch.

Note that you don't need to change worksrcdir in your portfile. You could instead change configure.dir and/or build.dir, for example.

I know, and for this portfile this is already fixed (see #28799). I used this as an example because I encountered this bug while developing the portfile. The problem is there anyway.

I don't think there's any need to wait until 2.0.0; I don't think changing this should break any existing ports. At the same time, we can fix fetch.type svn to have the same behavior; it's always bugged me that it behaved differently.

I thought we do not want to do any 1.x release anymore? Other changes on trunk are currently targeting 2.0.

Oh, in that case whatever. :)

This needs to be fixed differently. hgfetch and gitfetch need to be rewritten to use command_exec (like bzrfetch, cvzfetch and svnfetch do) instead of system.

Please have a look at the new patch. It uses the 'command_exec' for git.fetch and fetches the source to '$workpath/$distname' like the first patch. Feedback and suggestions are welcome.

Please have a look at the latest patch. 'command_exec' is used for both git.fetch and hg.fetch. The source will also be fetched to '$workpath/$distname' like the first patch does. Feedback and suggestions are welcome.

Let's check whether this is still a problem. If so, we'll consider it for 2.5.0 – maybe this is fixed with the VCS fetch caching changes.
