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.

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.
