vcsh: update to 1.20130909

[gjasny@…]

Hello,

please update the vcsh port. In case ronn-1.9 fails, do the following:

port uninstall rb19-hpricot rb19-ronn rb19-rdiscount rb19-mustache
port install -s rb19-ronn

Thanks, Gregor

Hi,

the new patch depends on #40799.

Thanks, Gregor

There is something strange about this port. The first attempt of installation fails, but the second succeeds and that behaviour is 100% reproducible for me.

I thought it had something to do with a parallel build, but disabling it doesn't help at all.

In case ronn-1.9 fails, do the following:

port uninstall rb19-hpricot rb19-ronn rb19-rdiscount rb19-mustache
port install -s rb19-ronn

That was because of #39248 and fixed in r115099.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I committed the portion of the patch that changes the mr dependency to myrepos in r115103.

The portion of the patch that uses a post-patch block to change ronn to ronn-1.9 should be a patchfile instead.

Committed that part in r115104.

The lion buildslave had a similar error building vcsh @1.20130724, except it could not find hpricot. I updated rb19-hpricot to a newer version in r115106 and rb19-rdiscount in r115107. After that I forced a rebuild on the lion buildslave, and it complained about mustache, so I updated rb19-mustache in r115108. Then the lion buildslave built vcsh successfully. Then I updated vcsh to 1.20130909 in r115109, and all 4 buildslaves built it ok. Did this help you as well? If you still get a build failure, check if other ports in the dependency chain are still affected by #39248 and update or revbump them.

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

I'll test now. But without doing any extensive research about dependencies: doesn't the failure mean that at least rb19-rdiscount is missing as a dependency of vchs (possibly also others)? At least in my case the package wasn't installed when I first tried to install vcsh.

Unrelated: I don't know if it makes any difference, but in the port I wanted to submit I added $prefix/bin to reinplace -E "s|ronn <|${prefix}/bin/ronn-1.9 <|" ${worksrcpath}/Makefile. I don't know much about official guidelines to write ruby packages, but something tells me that vcsh should be patch upstream in such a way that this patch wouldn't be needed or that it could pick up an environmental variable to find the right binary for example. Is anyone willing to report this upstream?

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

It works. But upstream is already at version 1.20131214.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Replying to mojca@…:

It works.

Great!

But upstream is already at version 1.20131214.

There are 6 different tags for 1.20131214 in their repository; I'll try to figure out why and which one we should use.

It should have been installed already. vcsh has a build dependency on rb19-ronn which has runtime dependencies on rb19-mustache, rb19-rdiscount, rb19-hpricot.

Unrelated: I don't know if it makes any difference, but in the port I wanted to submit I added $prefix/bin to reinplace -E "s|ronn <|${prefix}/bin/ronn-1.9 <|" ${worksrcpath}/Makefile.

It is better to use the full path to the executable, for the unlikely scenario that a user has edited binpath in macports.conf and put a different path before /opt/local/bin which contains a different and broken version of the same executable.

I don't know much about official guidelines to write ruby packages, but something tells me that vcsh should be patch upstream in such a way that this patch wouldn't be needed or that it could pick up an environmental variable to find the right binary for example.

It would be nice if the build script would provide a way for us to specify the path for ronn without having to patch the file.

• The difference between "1.20131214" and "1.20131214-1" is that "1.20131214-1" contains the directory "debian" so we don't care about that.
• The difference between "1.20131214" and "1.20131214-homebrew" is that "1.20131214-homebrew" contains the file "vcsh.1"; we don't need that because we use ronn to generate it.

It would be nice if the build script would provide a way for us to specify the path for ronn without having to patch the file.

1.20131214 already includes this.

Updated the port to 1.20131214 in r115114.

[gjasny@…]

I submitted a patch to vcsh to specify the RONN executable as make variable. But you already figured that out :-)

Thanks, for taking care!
