py37-acme fails to build

[danielluke (Daniel J. Luke)]

py37-acme extracts to something like $prefix/var/macports/build/_macports_is_cool-ports_python_py-acme/py37-acme/work/certbot-certbot-445b15e/acme ... but the Portfile sets worksrcdir to certbot-${version}/${real_name}

(presumably upstream changed how they generate their tarballs).

[Schamschula (Marius Schamschula)]

Strange.

I Installed certbot within the last week, w/o any such issues. I'll look into it!

[Schamschula (Marius Schamschula)]

P.S.: That was from a local distfile.

[Schamschula (Marius Schamschula)]

I have replicated the issue. This will also affect certbot, as it uses the same distfile.

[Schamschula (Marius Schamschula)]

What I don't understand is why the checksums don't fail. Is this something similar to what happened to the octave PortGroup?

The answer is yes! I copied the certbot distfile (downloaded when certbot 0.39.0 was released) to the py-acme directory. I get the same error.

See: #59111

This is a problem with MacPorts 2.6.x.

I'll come up with a workaround.

I think the problem here is due to a recent change to the Python PG. If you change the order of including the python and github PG it works again (but that's of course not the real solution to the issue)

py-acme, certbot: workaround for broken worksrcpath

Closes: #59525

[reneeotten (Renee Otten)]

Marius: this will not work anymore if the decision is to revert the changes to the python PG. I think we should decide soon-ish on what to do with that commit before others start adding workarounds for what you observed here. I would like someone else to take a look though before I undo commits from Joshua...

[Schamschula (Marius Schamschula)]

I'm all for fixing this issue centrally in the PG. I did that for the octave PG nearly three weeks ago.

[Schamschula (Marius Schamschula)]

I think the PortGroup has been updated. I'll need to revert this commit.

Thanks.
