I'm not even going to look at this without: 

make check-plist
make stage-qa
make portlint
Comment 2 John Marino freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-08-30 23:02:56 UTC
actually it is just "portlint"
Comment 3 John Marino freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-08-31 06:39:39 UTC
This PR has no obvious issues like the ones I rejected, but I still insist on proof of testing to move this out of triage.

Thank you, very much, John. This is actually a Perl packaging issue.
I'm on the perl@ list, and I remember some discussion on there being
an issue with them, when sunpoet changed the versioning scheme for
FreeBSD's Perl (BSDpan). It was at 5.15, I believe. I'll search
the list for the solution. Failing that, I'll send an email to
sunpoet.

Thanks, again, John.

You may give the packlist flag (see /usr/ports/Uses/perl5.mk for details) a try. Maybe it gets the .packlist out of the way properly for your update.

Hello, Marcus, and thanks for the response!

I went to the perl@ list, last night, where I remembered there being an
issue with .packlist some time ago. I quickly found that the following:

USE_PERL5+=	fixpacklist

solves it. :)

Thank you, again, Marcus. For your thoughtful reply.

But more important, MANCOMPRESSED doesn't do anything anymore. You can remove it.

Thank you, very much, Kubilay. For your taking the time to review
my submission(s).

Far be it, for _me_ to come off as any sort of expert on all this.
But I spent quite some time researching, and testing against
MANCOMPRESSED. I found without my additional entry

compress-man:
MANCOMPRESSED=    no

the plist line
perllocal.pod

became orphaned, and the addition of perllocal.pod.gz, also
became a problem. I found that adding the compress-man:
resolved this, and I no longer received complaints from
make(1) check-plist.

I'll be out all day (celebrating my birthday), so won't have
access to my "dev box", till later tonight, or tomorrow AM.
I'll post the QA output then.

Thanks, again, Kubilay.

Kubilay is correct.  Regardless of what check-plist is says (and we already know that it gives misleading information and some things that successfully shut it up are wrong), MANCOMPRESSED should not be used.

What about just removing perllocal.pod from the pkg-plist?  why do we need it?

OK. Just revisited...

check-plist returns the following, if perllocal.pod is removed from
pkg-plist:

Error: Orphaned: lib/perl5/%%PERL_VER%%/%%PERL_ARCH%%/perllocal.pod

Which was my point for

compress-man:
MANCOMPRESSED=    no

meaning
lib/perl5/%%PERL_VER%%/%%PERL_ARCH%%/perllocal.pod

is created

without
compress-man:
MANCOMPRESSED=    no

I naturally get
lib/perl5/%%PERL_VER%%/%%PERL_ARCH%%/perllocal.pod.gz

While I have no illusions about my being the new kid on the block.
I can't help but ask; why is not squashing perllocal.pod a bad thing(tm)?

I'll post an additional diff, citing perllocal.pod.gz, and removing
perllocal.pod, and let you decide. But I would greatly appreciate
reason(s) why my addition of MANCOMPRESSED is a bad thing(tm). :)

Thanks, John.

so add that to the pkg-plist then, right?

Because MANCOMPRESSED is undocumented, it's not supposed to do anything, and it could be removed tomorrow.  It is pre-stage code.  It was also for man pages, and nothing to do with perl/pod.

I'll let you answer this one by showing me where in the porter's handbook it says to use MANCOMPRESSED or where in Mk/ is MANCOMPRESSED documented for staged ports.

This diff (2104-09-07.diff) only removes MANCOMPRESSED from Makefile,
and changes perllocal.pod ==> perllocal.pod.gz, in pkg-plist as per JM.

Both work identically. So use whichever you like best. :)

can you tell use what perllocal.pod.gz does and why we need it?
Or why it's bad that it's compressed instead of plain text?

Why do we care about this file?

Not to be argumentative. Just sayin'...
I only learned about MANCOMPRESSED from the porters documentation, when
I ran up against this issue. However. I became frustrated, when it
didn't work as anticipated/documented. It wasn't until I discovered
that the documentation omitted compress-man: as a prerequisite. That
it worked as intended.
Again. Just sayin' if you, and Kubilay, say it may not work tomorrow.
So be it. I'll do without it, today. :)

Thanks for taking the time to explain it all, John.

This is a completely bogus answer.
If I don't want perllocal.pod.gz in the port, then I simply remove it in the post-install target.  I'm not forced to keep it.

As the maintainer, you should know exactly why this file is needed, or if it's needed.  If it's not, then just remove it and be done with it.

I have never ever seen "compress-man" before.  I've never used it.  The documentation omits it because you aren't supposed to use it is my guess.  If I haven't seen it before, where are you getting told to use it?

Sorry. Yes. Of course. It was intended tongue-in-cheek. I didn't know
you really cared.
It's a perlbrew||cpanminus -ism. I cobbled a Perl script to clean up this
very thing. But since it's empty (of documentation), it's harmless. So
I didn't think it worth bothering with. If it bothers you. I can deal
with the Module' extra entry, and bump it's version, to reflect that.
But IMHO, in the here-and-now. It doesn't really seem necessary.
Personally, I'm glad that this showed up. As I gained some useful
information, where man(1) && perldoc(1) pages are concerned, when
dealing with ports.

I found compress-man: in many (recent STAGE'd ports). A quick grep(1) of
the ports tree, will reveal what I'm saying.
But don't worry. I have no intention of using it in the future. :)

Thanks for taking the time to review, and critique my submissions, John.

Comment 28 John Marino freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-09-08 16:08:23 UTC
I did some research.
compress-man target is essentially an internal target.  It can be overridden.  Your definition of MANCOMPRESSED here did nothing.

I think if you had:
compress-man:
YOUR_MAMA_IS=UGLY

it would have the same effect.  (Try it!)
It basically blocked the default "compress-man" target from executing.  
by the way, anything after a target has to be indented.  I'm not sure why make(1) didn't scream at you.

I don't really follow.
If you don't install this file, does anything break or malfunction?

Ahh. So this (compress-man:) is an [unintended] _feature_. :)
Meaning; If I use
compress-man:
MANCOMPRESSED=	no

man(1) && perldoc(1) pages are left un-gzipped && copied to their
intended destination(s) -- really, I tried it. UNindented.
BUT if I omit that block, the man(1) && perldoc(1) pages, are packed
in their intended destination(s) -- really, I tried it. :)
In both cases, the files DO get installed. Either  gzipped | UNgzipped;
depending upon the whether MANCOMPRESSED is defined, or not.

I have no explanation for it all. I just only discovered it. It might
be interesting to take the time to find, and unwind the logic that even
[still] permits this. But my plate [as you've already discovered] is nearly
overflowing, as it is. :)

P.S. _love_ the YOUR_MAMA_IS=UGLY example. :) Good thing I'm not
sensitive, that way. ;)

No. No issue, at all. It's [supposed] to only be appended to, as|if needed.
Go ahead, and issue a perldoc perllocal. You may, or may not get something.
Depending if there's any contents|exists, in your [Perl] install(s).

If you omit the block, then the default "compress-man" target runs, as you would expect.  If you define "compress-man:", it doesn't matter what comes after because it will skip the default target and run it instead.

That's no surprise.  It doesn't affect installation, only compression.

The logic is in Mk/bsd.port.mk.
The point I was making is that the contents of your target (MANCOMPRESSED=yes) did nothing.  The affect was from the definition of the target (the "compress-man:" line)

Modify this file is not permitted (it has to have same contents at deinstallation as it does at installation)
If it's designed to be modified, then just remove it from $STAGEDIR in a post-install target and remove it from pkg-plist.  It is not useful (according to you) so just don't install it at all.

The file is created as part of the standard MakeMaker process. In this case
it has no [real] value.
FWIW -- I'll provide the "official" explaination;
 The perllocal.pod contains a list of locally-installed modules not
included with the standard distribution.
 If you download and install Perl and then install several CPAN modules,
only the CPAN modules will be listed in perllocal.
 It's updated during the "make install" process, by code in
ExtUtils::MakeMaker.

That said. As I see it. I can attempt a kludge that removes the perllocal
pod(.gz), and hope Perl doesn't complain. Or I can create a new patch;
files/patch-Net-Multicast-Beacon-Makefile.perl
that nukes the following lines:

doc_perl_install :: all
    $(NOECHO) $(ECHO) Appending installation info to $(DESTINSTALLARCHLIB)/perllocal.pod
    -$(NOECHO) $(MKPATH) $(DESTINSTALLARCHLIB)
    -$(NOECHO) $(DOC_INSTALL) \
        "Module" "$(NAME)" \
        "installed into" "$(INSTALLPRIVLIB)" \
        LINKTYPE "$(LINKTYPE)" \
        VERSION "$(VERSION)" \
        EXE_FILES "$(EXE_FILES)" \
        >> $(DESTINSTALLARCHLIB)/perllocal.pod

doc_site_install :: all
    $(NOECHO) $(ECHO) Appending installation info to $(DESTINSTALLARCHLIB)/perllocal.pod
    -$(NOECHO) $(MKPATH) $(DESTINSTALLARCHLIB)
    -$(NOECHO) $(DOC_INSTALL) \
        "Module" "$(NAME)" \
        "installed into" "$(INSTALLSITELIB)" \
        LINKTYPE "$(LINKTYPE)" \
        VERSION "$(VERSION)" \
        EXE_FILES "$(EXE_FILES)" \
        >> $(DESTINSTALLARCHLIB)/perllocal.pod

doc_vendor_install :: all
    $(NOECHO) $(ECHO) Appending installation info to $(DESTINSTALLARCHLIB)/perllocal.pod
    -$(NOECHO) $(MKPATH) $(DESTINSTALLARCHLIB)
    -$(NOECHO) $(DOC_INSTALL) \
    "Module" "$(NAME)" \
        "installed into" "$(INSTALLVENDORLIB)" \
        LINKTYPE "$(LINKTYPE)" \
        VERSION "$(VERSION)" \
        EXE_FILES "$(EXE_FILES)" \
        >> $(DESTINSTALLARCHLIB)/perllocal.pod

which are responsible for it's creation.

Thanks, John.

Just remove it in the post-install target (which already exists) and save yourself the patch.

OK all the requested changes are in.

no more MANCOMPRESSED, perllocal.pod(.gz)

Heh. Just like me, to over-complicate things.

Comment 35 John Marino freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-09-08 20:05:36 UTC
I don't get your fix at all:

${FIND} ${STAGEDIR} -name 'perllocal.pod' -delete
${FIND} ${STAGEDIR} -name 'perllocal.pod.gz' -delete

I have a lot of questions.
1) it either ends in pod or pod.gz, why do you cover both bases?  obviously one command is never used
2) why are you using find?  How many files are there?

If the answer is "1", then use ${RM} ${STAGEDIR}${PREFIX} .... instead

I _knew_ this question was coming. So why didn't I address it
beforehand?
OK. Indeed, a _pertinent_ question. I was puzzled, myself. Here's
how it went;

${FIND} ${STAGEDIR} -name 'perllocal.pod' -delete

check-plist complains that perllocal.pod.gz is orphaned.
Crap! That's right. I don't have that man-compressed: nonsense in
there, anymore.

${FIND} ${STAGEDIR} -name 'perllocal.pod.gz' -delete

check-plist complains about perllocal.pod being orphaned. Grr...

Fine! It looks silly. But let's see how it flies;

${FIND} ${STAGEDIR} -name 'perllocal.pod' -delete
${FIND} ${STAGEDIR} -name 'perllocal.pod.gz' -delete

No complaints from either check-plist, or portlint.
I'm growing weary of all this, by now. So begrudgingly, I submit it.

<sigh> I'll poke at it some more, and see if I can better determine
the issue. I _suspect_ it's because both files existed, at one time.
So pkg, or make preserved that information.

I'll get back with something more elegant. :)

--Chris

P.S. I got the ${FIND} script out of Mk/Uses/perl5.mk
It is used to clobber empty .bs files.
