Description dgilbert 2019-05-27 13:41:11 UTC
One of these things is in error.  Either frr7 should build with python3.7 (Makefile says 3.6+) _or_ it shouldn't (the configure stage fails).  In support of the former, it looks like it's looking for python3-config ... so maybe it means it should depend in some way that forces python3 to install after python37?  I have python37 as default version in my make.conf for this build.

An excerpt from the Makefile:

USES=           autoreconf bison compiler:c++11-lang gmake pkgconfig libtool \
                makeinfo python:3.6+,build readline

_or_

Thanks for the report. Could you include the following (as attachments) please:

- The full build log
- WRKSRC/config.log

It appears that ffr supports Python 2.7 to 3.6 currently (based on the versions it appears to be enumerating in configure, and upstream code [1]). Why the port is limited to 3.6+ only I don't know, but based on evidence this should be USES=python:2.7-3.6.

build log:

as for config.conf ... how do I cause poudriere to keep that?
Comment 3 dgilbert 2019-05-27 14:12:19 UTC
(In reply to Kubilay Kocak from comment #1)
except for the fact that it checks for python3-config ... which is failing because poudriere doesn't pull in lang/python-3?

Please include any requested logs as attachments, as external URL references tend to go stale/missing over time.

For config.log, use 'testport -i' to enter the build jail and grab the log

It is looking for those in addition to pythonX.Y-config variants, as different OS's package python in different ways.

The issue is that while ffr7 may well support 3.7 'in practice', their configure.ac doesn't currently look for it to satisfy the dependency, which is why it's failing.

The second contributing cause is you set 3.7 as your default versions, and the third contributing cause is the port sets USES=python3.6+

The third, implies that your second, is OK, which is incorrect (configure says otherwise).

The PR I referenced in comment 1 was an example showing 3.7 being added. The PR is still open, but does not include updating python*-config elements of configure.ac

Right now, the fix is to set the port to declare *correctly* what versions this software supports, which is 2.7-3.6

The longer term goal (for you), is to get upstream to add support for Python 3.7, so that you don't need a different (and multiple) versions of Python installed on your system.

Thanks David for the report and thanks koob for spotting the bug in the Makefile.
Comment 8 Kubilay Kocak freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2019-05-29 03:03:43 UTC
Thanks Olivier. Could you MFH this to quarterly please (that version is affected)

Happy to do it if you don't want to

Yes can you MFH it please ?

I didn't reach to do it myself:

/usr/ports/Tools/scripts/mfh r50290
(...)

(In reply to Olivier Cochard from comment #9)

Syntax for revision doesn't need 'r' prefix to revision number, and it looks like the revision number was truncated, "r50290" not "502902"

I'm trying the MFH now

There is no net/frr7 in 2019Q2,  why do you want to merge?

Ugh, didn't even occur to me to check. Thanks Antoine
