Are these tests needed at all for packaging ?

Comment 1 Corey Halpin 2019-09-29 12:19:21 UTC
If t.smoke fails, that means that the built 'fetchmail' binary crashed trying to parse a trivial configuration file. Something is pretty broken in that case.

Thank you for providing the full poudriere logs; it's very helpful. From what I can see, it looks like the relevant options in your configuration are  ssl=openssl111 and GSSAPI_NONE=on.

I'm attempting to replicate this failure with those options. I'll follow up if I need more information.

Whatever test does, is not too related to my setup.  I extracted the freshly-built fetchmail binary from the saved workspace, and used it alone with my config file.  Everything worked fine.

patch-t.smoke

I wasn't able to replicate the problem in poudriere with the options I suspected. Nor with a complete copy of your make.conf from your logs.

However, mail from pkg-fallout reporting a failure in the build-as-user set provided a clue.

Does your poudriere.conf set BUILD_AS_NON_ROOT=yes and CCACHE_DIR_NON_ROOT_SAFE=yes ?

If so, then I think t.smoke is failing because it tries to run fetchmail as 'nobody', but 'nobody' does not have a home directory. I'm able to make it fail that way by setting BUILD_AS_NON_ROOT=yes in my poudriere.conf.

Placing the attached patch-t.smoke ${PORTSDIR}/mail/fetchmail/files resolves the failure for me. Does it work for you?

As to your earlier question, 'are the tests necessary', as of right now the test suite is quite small and runs quickly while also providing a backstop that prevents installing a binary that appears to have built correctly but does not actually function. I'd prefer to keep them in order to have that extra layer of safety.

Comment 5 Gary 2019-10-04 16:16:22 UTC
Hi,

Will the patch be committed?  fetchmail has been broken for me since the 6.4.1 update and I think this is why (failing in same place)

Thanks,

Gary
Comment 6 Marko Cupać 2019-10-09 07:36:37 UTC
I'm also waiting for the patch to be committed. Other 1315 ports I build in poudriere as non-root are currently OK, I wouldn't like to start building as root because of fetchmail.
Comment 7 Matthias Andree freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2019-10-09 17:15:35 UTC
Committed. I'll keep this open until I've merged it upstream.

  fetchmail: Fix manpage rendering w/ groff, fix t.smoke failure

  PR:		240914
  PR:		241032
  Submitted by:	Corey Halpin (maintainer)
  Reported by:	Helge Oldach, Konstantin Belousov

  One patch removes a .br from the .man page to fix manpage rendering
  with groff on FreeBSD 12.0, one patch changes the environment for a
  build-time self-test that will not be installed but unbreaks a build
  in some configurations, hence claiming blanket approval.
