Description Niclas Zeising freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-06-06 13:14:01 UTC
Hi!
I'm requesting an exp-run of the devel/libffi update to 3.3.
libffi has a lot of low-level dependencies in the ports tree, so I'd like to have an exp-run done before updating.  This update makes a lot of changes to libffi, and is the first libffi release since 2014, so there are a lot of changes, and a shared library version bump.

Before committing, I intend to bump version of all dependencies, but that's not part of the patch.

The patch can be found here: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D25163

Thank you very much!
Regards
Niclas
Comment 1 Mark Linimon freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-06-13 00:32:23 UTC
fwiw, I ran a randomly-picked sample of over 100 libffi-dependent ports on my powerpc64 test system on 20200607 and did not see any build problems that had anything to do with libffi.  While that is not complete coverage, it does suggest  that there are no large-scale problems.
Comment 2 Antoine Brodin freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-06-13 05:49:00 UTC
I only tested a few ports but lang/ghc fails to build:

===>   ghc-8.8.3_1 depends on shared library: libffi.so.6 - not found
Comment 3 Gleb Popov freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-06-13 11:57:01 UTC
The build should be fixed by proper DEPENDS line, libffi.so.7 or something.

But there is another problem. devel/stack is a Haskell build tool that downloads and installs binary GHC distributions from its own site. These distributions are linked against old libffi.so.6 and updating the port will render them unusable.

Rebuilding all of them is a pretty tedious task.

Is there a possibility for something like devel/libffi-compat, that would install old libffi.so.6 into /usr/local/lib/compat?
Comment 4 Antoine Brodin freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-06-13 14:44:27 UTC
hs-cabal-install has the problem too:

===>   hs-cabal-install-3.0.2.0 depends on shared library: libffi.so.6 - not found
Comment 5 Niclas Zeising freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-06-13 15:27:03 UTC
I'll look into the Haskell situation.  Based on Gleb's comments it might be worth looking into keeping the old ffi, at least the library, somewhere.
Comment 6 Niclas Zeising freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-06-14 08:49:52 UTC
I updated the patch in the phab review to fix the fallout caused by hard-coded libffi.so.6 in makefiles.
I don't know if this warrants another exp-run.  I've tried to build as many ports as possible that use libffi, but I unfortunately can't cover all of them.
Comment 9 Niclas Zeising freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-06-15 16:57:00 UTC
I've updated the diff in phabricator, fixing both fallouts.
lang/polyml was easy to fix, just a simple patch
lang/ecl required an update of the entire port to fix.
Comment 10 Antoine Brodin freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-06-16 08:01:50 UTC
Exp-run looks fine.
Don't forget to bump PORTREVISIONs for shlib change.
Comment 11 Antoine Brodin freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-06-19 08:38:05 UTC
I noticed an additional failure due to ecl update:

(In reply to Antoine Brodin from comment #11)

Thank you.
It is fixed as part of updating maxima: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D25303

libffi updated.
Keep this PR open for a bit in case there is fallout.

(In reply to commit-hook from comment #16)
The comment says

> # The version number is needed as lang/gcc installs a different version

However, lang/gcc9 doesn't seem to install libffi anymore. I guess, I'll just remove that comment.

  add new port devel/libffi321

  Add a new port, devel/libffi321, which is a stripped down version of libffi
  3.2.1.  This version only brings in the shared library from libffi 3.2.1
  (the libffi 3.3.0 update bumped the version number of the shlib) for binary
  consumers that can't easily be recompiled and updated against the new
  version of libffi.
  This version is not meant to be linked against, and you should not depend on
  it to bring libffi in, unless you explicitly need the binary compat.
  Libraries are installed in ${LOCALBASE}/lib/compat.
