lbzip2 uses legacy-support and so fails when upgrading it

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

Upgrading went so far quite fine until the step of activation. De-activating legacy-support @1.0.7 succeeded so that I had two unactive ports. Cleaning legacy-support @1.0.9 probably succeeded, and re-activating legacy-support @1.0.7 failed.

A manual try to activate the just built version failed:

A selfupdate did not change anything: build succeeds, next step fails. The system is now useless, because lbzip2 cannot be used and so built software cannot be packed out and installed.

This can explain why no whois version could exist – no disk space left for it? Tiger is now upgrading OpenSSL.

So, you've configure MacPorts to extract using MacPorts lbzip2, and MacPorts lbzip2 requires legacy-support to work (ever since the fix for #65878), and you're upgrading legacy-support, which means that at the moment that MacPorts wants to extract the new legacy-support, it can't, because MacPorts lbzip2 has been broken by deactivating the previous version of legacy-support.

This is why it's a good idea, if you want to have MacPorts use lbzip2, to have it use a copy of it not installed by MacPorts (and that does not use any libraries installed by MacPorts).

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Eric, if libzip2 can be improved so that it does not require legacy-support anymore, that will solve the problem when legacy-support is upgraded, but the only solution for when lbzip2 is upgraded is not to use a MacPorts-installed copy of lbzip2. Unless we change MacPorts base so that it extracts the to-be-activated archive before deactivating the old port.

Isn't this this the default setting? (And none of the files in /opt/local/etc/macports contains the word lbzip2, just sets of file name extensions, commented.) It had worked before, I think. Longer time ago I did not have lbzip2 installed. Besides, since I could handle the problem why can't port?

(ever since the fix for #65878), and you're upgrading legacy-support, which means that at the moment that MacPorts wants to extract the new legacy-support, it can't, because MacPorts lbzip2 has been broken by deactivating the previous version of legacy-support.

A workaround with gtar exists. And I never knew that dependency.

This is why it's a good idea, if you want to have MacPorts use lbzip2, to have it use a copy of it not installed by MacPorts (and that does not use any libraries installed by MacPorts).

Or get rid of it since it has become to complex, breaking compatibility. This special utility is not necessary.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Replying to ballapete:

Yes, base will always use lbzip2 if available. That was safe when the lbzip2 port had no runtime dependencies.

[eborisch (Eric A. Borisch)]

It might be time to let it go; it does not appear to be getting any updates at this point, and the web page is… odd.

[kencu (Ken)]

Also, legacysupport provides a static linking option to help avoid circular dependencies.

we use it on the macports-clang-* compilers, for example, for this reason.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Replying to ballapete:

You're right the lbzip2 is not necessary but it is intended to be a performance improvement. It decompresses bzip2 files using all of your CPU cores in parallel whereas the standard bzip2 utility uses only one CPU core.

But we may want to consider no longer using lbzip2, not because of complexity, but because the software hasn't been updated in 9 years and appears to have been abandoned. It may have vulnerabilities.

Replying to jmroot:

Ah, I forgot it did this automatically.

Replying to eborisch:

The domain name was hijacked and is no longer under the project's control so we should no longer reference it. See ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/18476.

That's a great idea, thanks for the reminder.

The parallel, indexed xz compressor pixz might be an alternative to lbzip2. Already available as a port.

pixz is indeed to xz what lbzip2 is to bz2. But our archives are bz2, not xz. No provision exists in MacPorts base thus far that would allow us to transparently switch the compession method of our archives so until that's changed we must stay with bz2.

Sounds like adding legacysupport.use_static yes would get us to a reasonably stable state until we decide if lbzip2 should be left in the past?

Replying to ryandesign:

but the only solution for when lbzip2 is upgraded is not to use a MacPorts-installed copy of lbzip2.

Excuse me, I was wrong about that. Upgrading lbzip2 is not a problem. MacPorts deactivates the old lbzip2, and then, when extracting the new one, it sees that lbzip2 does not exist so it uses bzip2 instead.

Yes, thanks!

The static version seems to work on PPC Tiger, Mac OS X 10.4.11.
