[aur-dev] Couple of patches

Here are a few patches. The first patch removes the 'submitter' field from the web-ui package results. The second patch fixes several instances where db_query's result was not tested before performing mysql queries upon it. This patch might be a tad messy due to some unfortunate 'vim retab!' foolery. A result of forgetting to set noexpandtab before editing and writing out some changes. Mostly just a silly reformatting of some document strings. If the rest of the patch is wanted, I can rebase and re-edit this particular patch if desired. The third patch fixes an odd case I ran into where a user didn't exist, but a query was being performed anyway -- and relying on the sql failure to handle the lack of account. The final patch was just fixing an inconsistency I ran across, where depending on the error state, either a zero or an empty string was returned. php evaluates both to false, so it doesn't _really_ matter, but consistency is nice. :)

The submitter field proved to be useful in some cases where a package was moved from the official repos to the AUR and either turned out to be incomplete or wasn't properly removed from the official repos. What's the motivation of removing this one?

Yeah, cool. I guess there's some more places that need to get fixed but that looks like a good start. Could you please resend that one without the formatting changes? They make it kinda hard to spot the actual changes.

Looks ok, but I'd rather say we should locate the code path that led to the unset parameter and add some additional validation there to avoid further unexpected behaviour.

Yes, that is one of the code parts that really suck. Returning zero or an empty string in a function that is called uid_from_sid() is just nonsense. I started refactoring this, replacing all zeros and empty strings in functions that are designed to return IDs by "null" but didn't ever finish that since I didn't have enough time to check and fix all invocations, also (some of them compare to "0" and stuff). It would be cool to have someone looking into that :)

The submitter field proved to be useful in some cases where a package was moved from the official repos to the AUR and either turned out to be incomplete or wasn't properly removed from the official repos.

I guess I don't see what benefit the submitter field would have in such an instance. If someone moved it from the official repos to the aur, would they not be the submitter and also the maintainer?

What's the motivation of removing this one?

There was a discussion in another thread about adding submitter to the api return results, and I mentioned that I felt that submitter field wasn't very relevant or useful. This patch stemmed from that discussion.

Hmm. So keeping it but maybe only showing it to TU or Developer class users may be more appropriate. Alternatively, it almost sounds like maintainer and submitter could be merged into an 'owner' value, and track owner history somehow (record each change of ownership in a join table). That might add the ability to track users that upload lots of packages, then disown them too. And track packages with high owner turnover (may tell whether a package is painful or burdensome to maintain). If such a thing were implemented though, I think it should be displayed only to TU or Developer class users. I can't see general users finding much use for it, but I could be wrong.

hmm. looks like there were still a couple lines of formatting junk in this patch.. hilariously the ones I missed are converting spaces to tabs to be more consistent. &_& the count is low though.

Looks quite ok now. Which method did you use to spot these inconsistencies?

After I found and noticed one (was working on some code that triggered a php warning due to the issue, I did the following grep to find more instances.

Skimming through the source code it seems that there are some more query results that should be validated, like the "SELECT" one in "web/html/pkgsubmit.php".

Yeah, I didn't originally look for these, but I found some more with this.. grep -R -n -A1 db_query * | grep -B1 mysql That find instances where db_query is directly followed (next line) by a mysql_ function. Looking at these a few are cases of 'not testing return value of db_query before eval'. output of above command: # looks like it needs to be fixed html/pkgsubmit.php:303: $result = db_query($q, $dbh); html/pkgsubmit.php-304- $pdata = mysql_fetch_assoc($result); # this one look relatively ok. just an insert. html/pkgsubmit.php:352: db_query($q, $dbh); html/pkgsubmit.php-353- $packageID = mysql_insert_id($dbh); # looks like it needs to be fixed html/account.php:51: $result = db_query($q, $dbh); html/account.php-52- if (!mysql_num_rows($result)) { # looks like it needs to be fixed html/account.php:78: $result = db_query($q, $dbh); html/account.php-79- if (!mysql_num_rows($result)) { # looks like it needs to be fixed html/account.php:115: $result = db_query($q, $dbh); html/account.php-116- if (!mysql_num_rows($result)) { # looks like it needs to be fixed html/tu.php:28: $results = db_query($q, $dbh); html/tu.php-29- $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($results); # looks like it needs to be fixed html/tu.php:53: $result = db_query($qwhoVoted,$dbh); html/tu.php-54- if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) { # this one is probably ok. it uses the handle to get a 'changed row count' html/passreset.php:45: $result = db_query($q, $dbh); html/passreset.php-46- if (!mysql_affected_rows($dbh)) { # looks like it needs to be fixed lib/pkgfuncs.inc:254: $result = db_query($q, $dbh); lib/pkgfuncs.inc-255- if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) { # looks like it needs to be fixed lib/pkgfuncs.inc:637: $result = db_query($q, $dbh); lib/pkgfuncs.inc-638- if (mysql_num_rows($result)) { # looks like it needs to be fixed lib/pkgfuncs.inc:879: $result = db_query($q, $dbh); lib/pkgfuncs.inc-880- if (!mysql_num_rows($result)) { # looks like it needs to be fixed lib/stats.inc:24: $result = db_query($dbq, $dbh); lib/stats.inc-25- $row = mysql_fetch_row($result); # looks like it needs to be fixed lib/aur.inc:30: $result = db_query($q, $dbh); lib/aur.inc-31- if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 0) { # looks like it needs to be fixed lib/aur.inc:348: $result = db_query($q, $dbh); lib/aur.inc-349- if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 0) {return 1;} # looks like it needs to be fixed template/pkg_comment_form.php:31: $result = db_query($q, $dbh); template/pkg_comment_form.php-32- $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result); Some of this could probably be cleaned up through judicious use of a few wrapper functions, with the added benefit of abstracting the sql away like we had previously talked about... Still, you eat an elephant with small bites, so I think fixing these directly for now would probably be the quickest path to resolution. This would also ease abstraction later, because it would add sensible checks at the same location where abstraction would need to test for query results anyway.
