Description John Kennedy 2020-12-02 06:00:32 UTC
It looks like ctwm-4.0.3,1 has an issue about where to find the man page for ctwm:
man/man1/ctwm.1.gz vs share/man/man1/ctwm.1.gz

ctwm pkg-plist patch

This fixes my problem, and seems correct to me.
Comment 2 fullermd 2020-12-04 03:17:19 UTC
I'm puzzled about how this is happening.  Note that it was also recently seen on 12.1 on the package builder:

http://package19.nyi.freebsd.org/data/121amd64-default-build-as-user/556467/logs/ctwm-4.0.3,1.log

See from the configure stage output:
  -- Installing manpage to      /usr/local/man/man1

(I'm unable to find any _other_ older builds for it in a little digging; there doesn't seem to be any particularly useful interface to the package build logs)

However, the proposed fix is the _inverse_ of ports r523493 which was done in the shadow of ports r523104 and so doesn't seem like it'd be expected behavior...

I can't reproduce it on some -STABLE boxes, or a 12.1 system.  Nor can I obviously see a way the ports framework would be passing an explicit dir in, which means it's down to ctwm's cmake build.  That checks (in order) for $PREFIX/share/man and $PREFIX/man to determine where to put things, with a fallback to $PREFIX/man if it can't find either.  So it could only wind up using $PREFIX/man if $PREFIX/share/man didn't exist.  And if neither existed and it used the fallback, it would print a warning we don't see in the build cluster log:

  -- Enabling standard warnings.
  -- Found X11: /usr/local/include   

(it'd be between those lines)

I don't see any recent changes in ports/Mk that sound suspicious either.  Does anything enlightening show up in your output for the 'configure' stage?
Comment 3 John Kennedy 2020-12-04 14:27:11 UTC
I should probably point out that this is a 13-current box, and I'm obviously building my ports from source and pulling from the master ports branch.

I agree that this is probably something else triggering a change in behavior from ctwm.  -4.0.3,1 has been out there quite a while and was building just fine up to a point and then started failing.

This is output for my patched version, but I assume it'd show you what you wanted to see.

[I'll attach the whole thing for you]

I have both of those directories, at least outside of poudriere:

# ls -lasd /usr/local/share/man/ /usr/local/man
9 drwxr-xr-x  32 root  wheel  33 Dec  1 21:28 /usr/local/man
1 drwxr-xr-x   2 root  wheel   3 Dec  1 21:17 /usr/local/share/man/

(/usr/local/share/man only has mandoc.db, but /usr/local/man seems to have the bulk of the contents.

Perhaps an aha (looking at jail via poudriere testport):

# ls -lasd /usr/local/share/man/ /usr/local/man
ls: /usr/local/share/man/: No such file or directory
1 drwxr-xr-x  7 root  wheel  7 Dec  4 14:13 /usr/local/man

Not sure who is responsible for /usr/local/share/man getting created.

poudriere build log

Full build log included as attachment.
Comment 5 fullermd 2020-12-12 20:26:49 UTC
So, $PREFIX/man and $PREFIX/share/man should be setup by mtree, using $PORTS/Templates/bsd.local.dist.  The ports framework itself only seems to run that to setup the staging dir during the build; it doesn't seem to ever have any involvement in running it on the live system.  And I don't see where poudriere ever references it at all.

So, that covers how you don't have share/man.  But why do you have man?  In a quick glance over the build-depends (or even just simply pkg itself, which is a build-dep of everything anyway), they seem to have scattered various manpages in man/manX.  So that'd bring those into being when doing the build.

So, apparently poudriere _doesn't_ setup the "real" /usr/local/ in its build environments at all.  I'd be inclined to view that as a bug, and I can only assume it's a recent change since this just started popping up.  So I guess we just have to force a choice in the build, since poudriere doesn't let us probe the gross structure /usr/local will always have.

I _assume_ from the referenced earlier changes that moved to it, that share/man is the currently Preferred(tm) place, even though all the deps use man, and my system has 100 meg in /usr/local/man vs 340k in /usr/local/share/man.  But, whatever...

The following (attachment) should jam it over that way.

Hardcode share/man as the man location.
Comment 7 John Kennedy 2020-12-13 02:14:43 UTC
My guess would be that one of the dependencies creates ${PREFIX}/man along the way.  In any case, your patch fixed my issue in a way that's less likely to swap in the future.
