py-pyepl @1.0.29: fails to build

[petrrr]

The port fails to build on 10.8.5, it is unmaintained, main.log attached.

Update: This ticket was compiled for py26, but applies to py27 as well.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

It is generally a good idea to indicate what version of port you used in any defect ticket because it can be very important in determining the issue.

[petrrr]

Okay, so I understood this wrong. I thought the port versions was intended for base related issues only, while port defect would usually affect various version so should not be specified.

So I would leave the port version on which the defect was observed, right?

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Yes, definitely for port tickets, not just base tickets.

you should include what version you are trying to install as well - I believe python27 is the default now

[petrrr]

You are right!

However, the port only offers py26-pyepl subport so there is no real ambiguity, and that's probably why I forgot this. The issue surfaced with r122244 and I wanted this to be documented. The port is unmaintained since years and probably the software upstream as well. So probably this just normal bit rot of an used port. I have not found any explicit hint that Python 2.7 is supported, but it might work.

I created a subport for Python 2.7 but did not test it. The Python 2.6 one has been replaced.

Do you still see the failure with py27-pyepl?

[petrrr]

A python27 build

[petrrr]

The failure still occurs and the problem is basically the same. It is a C++ compilation issue. The unrecognized compiler flag is probably not relevant here. I attached the complete main.log for the python27 build.

The current version seems to be @2.3.1, now. So we just might want to update first.

[larryv (Lawrence Velázquez)]

Updating would be a good first step. The port also doesn’t use the right compiler, so that should be addressed as well.

I think the livecheck url is wrong

-    livecheck.url   http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-exppsy/pymvpa.git
+    livecheck.url   http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-exppsy/pyepl.git

That shows the current version is 1.1.0 from 6 years ago
