grub port shell archive

This is suggested as a replacement the "deprecated, soon to be removed" unmaintained port sysutils/grub2.
It is based on a working snapshot, version 2-03. Changes have been made to Makefile to make sure it does not install lang/gcc8 along with itself.
Comment 1 Tobias Kortkamp freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-12-30 18:18:53 UTC
Please make this a unified diff against the existing port.  It's
harder to see what you changed otherwise.

It would also be good to base this on a recent revision (at least
the changes and fixes from ports 484145 and ports r488585 appear
to not be included here).

X		${LOCALBASE}/bin/strip:devel/binutils \
X		${LOCALBASE}/bin/gcc8:lang/gcc8

These changes are wrong and ignore GCC_DEFAULT and other settings.
Please use USE_GCC.  If it doesn't need gcc at runtime, add

RUN_DEPENDS:=	${RUN_DEPENDS:Ngcc*}

after .include <bsd.port.mk>

X		${LOCALBASE}/bin/python:lang/python

Depending on the lang/python is forbidden by policy.  People went
through great pains to remove it from all ports, use

BINARY_ALIAS=	python=${PYTHON_CMD}

if the build calls python directly.

XICONV_PREFIX=	${LOCALBASE}

ICONV_PREFIX is not a port settable variable and should only be set
by the framework.  It also already set by USES=iconv

XMAKE_CMD=	${LOCALBASE}/bin/gmake

Already set by USES=gmake

Please retain the original "Created by" line.  You did not create
this port, sem@ did.  You'll get full credit for the update in the
commit log.

Xpre-configure:
X	@cd ${WRKSRC} && ${SH} autogen.sh
X

Why does USES=autoreconf no longer suffice?

Thanks for your feedback, I've tried the changes you suggest.

These ARE included, I would think: in this snapshot grub-mkconfig does not make problems prefixing "t" as reported in r488585. And as for r484145, I ran portlint and did what it suggested, so no it finds no mistakes in my Makefile. But maybe I have overlooked something?

Because "USES=autoreconf" doesn't do all that the autogen.sh does. That scripts does some other things as well.

It's good that they have fixed most of the non-portable sed -e 's/^/\t/'.
I still see some in at least util/grub.d/30_os-prober.in, so I do not
think that this is fixed completely.  Probably could be easily fixed
with a single patch instead of falling back to gsed now though.

r484145 also removed CONFLICTS, for example.

Ok, it seems to do a lot.  Is there a need to run autoreconf twice?
Both autogen.sh and the framework do it.  Would USES=autoreconf:build
suffice?
Comment 4 bergerkos 2018-12-30 20:36:28 UTC
(In reply to Tobias Kortkamp from comment #3)

Right, CONFLICTS must be removed.

No it doesn't. I tried to do a unified patch for what autogen.sh does (with autoreconf -vi removed in the end of it), and it makes about 60,000 lines of code. Quite a bit.

(In reply to bergerkos from comment #4)
Sorry, I misunderstood. YES, USES=autoreconf:build seems to do it all right.

Patch appears to be based on ports r484145 and does not apply cleanly to
the latest revision ports r488585.  Please rebase.

Also I wonder a bit about the MASTER_SITES, can we use SAVANNAH somehow instead (which expands to multiple mirrors)?
Comment 9 Rene Ladan freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2019-02-05 20:13:44 UTC
Is 2.03 even a version? The latest release tag on https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/ mentions 2.02 from 21 months ago.

I don't think that GRUB 2.02 will build with GCC 8, so this is just using
a snapshot fetched from their git repo.  2.03 isn't a version yet.
Probably DISTVERSION{,PREFIX,SUFFIX} should be set to something generated
via git describe --tags similarly how we do it with USE_GITHUB for things
in between versions to avoid confusion once there is a 2.03.

grub2.diff

Here's a rebased patch based on the last patch here.

- I've changed it to a DISTVERSION triple based on git describe --tags
  using the latest commit.
- I had to delete a couple of patches manually that no longer applied.
  The patch as submitted did not include this except as comments.
- It runs 'python' during the configure phase.
- OPTIONS_DEFINE was set twice, so NLS was never defined.
- I readded some of the %%%% option markers to pkg-plist.  This is
  probably incomplete and just a guess as I could not get it to build.
- I reset maintainer back to ports given lack of feedback for > 1
  month after comment #7.

I cannot get it to build on 13.0-CURRENT however and it fails with:

cpp8 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.  -Wall -W -DGRUB_UTIL=1 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I./include -DGRUB_FILE=\"util/grub-fstest.c\" -I. -I. -I. -I. -I./include -I./include -I./grub-core/lib/libgcrypt-grub/src/ -I./grub-core/gnulib -I./grub-core/gnulib  -I/____CPPFLAGS_QA_MARKER____ -DLIBICONV_PLUG -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 \

compilation terminated.

Maybe I deleted one too many patches.  I've also tried this with
the older snapshot.  Same problem.

Sorry for my lack of reply. I had more free time then than I do now. Is there still need for this?

Don't worry about it.

Yes. :)

grub2.diff

Add CONFIGURE_ENV=CPP="${CC} -E" like it was set in in the port
before which I accidentally removed.

It builds fine now, but pkg-plist still needs to be checked with
regards to options.  And somebody should test if this thing actually
still boots something.

- Add missing USES=pkgconfig and fix build in Poudriere too
- Attempt to fix build on i386; the efiemu modules failed to build
  there, so explicitly pass --disable-efiemu to disable them
- Add PKGNAMESUFFIX
- Put back CPE info

The build on i386 still fails with

If nobody has time to test or fix/help with the outstanding issue with i386 then
I think it'd be fine to remove the port from the collection now.

Makes sense to me.  Perhaps send a note to ports@ in parallel to deprecation?
Comment 18 bergerkos 2019-04-29 18:45:47 UTC
From Google search it looks like that particular issue was reported and fixed (by july 2018). I'll check.

Can you share that patch here, or is it time to remove this port?
