[Git][pacman/pacman][master] libmakepkg: set CCACHE_PREFIX to absolute path of distcc when using both
by Allan McRae (＠allan) 18 Jan '25

Allan McRae pushed to branch master at Pacman / Pacman Commits: 680169fb by Guoxin Pu at 2025-01-18T05:08:44+00:00 libmakepkg: set CCACHE_PREFIX to absolute path of distcc when using both The current logic sets CCACHE_PREFIX to distcc when both distcc and ccache are enabled. However, according to the source of ccache, it would execute the command with execv, which would not look up arg0 from PATH, unlike those exec functions with _p suffix. This would result in the following error, when building a package with both ccache and distcc enabled: ``` ccache: error: execute_noreturn of distcc failed: No such file or directory ``` This breaks package builds in different ways: packages that use make/cc directly would yield the actual error which is the same as the above line, packages that rely on other build systems wouldn't go through compiler check and complain on a bad compiler. To reproduce the problem, try to build a simple package: ``` git clone https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/abc.git cd abc cp /etc/makepkg.conf . echo 'BUILDENV=(distcc color ccache check !sign)' >> makepkg.conf makepkg --config makepkg.conf ``` refs: https://github.com/ccache/ccache/blob/f887434d35bf6544ce3b56dd7684de804cdaa… https://man.archlinux.org/man/exec.3.en#v_-_execv(),_execvp(),_execvpe() Signed-off-by: Guoxin Pu <pugokushin(a)gmail.com> - - - - - 1 changed file: - scripts/libmakepkg/buildenv/compiler.sh.in View it on GitLab: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/pacman/pacman/-/commit/680169fb61ede7e084adef8… -- View it on GitLab: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/pacman/pacman/-/commit/680169fb61ede7e084adef8… You're receiving this email because of your account on gitlab.archlinux.org.

RFC: alternate approach to split packages
by Allan McRae 11 Jan '25

11 Jan '25

Hi all, When package splitting was implemented in makepkg, it was done so under two premises: 1) Arch Linux did not split packages out of principle, and there would be very few exceptions 2) KDE was the target package to be split, and its build system provided nice make targets for doing so This meant we targetted splitting packages where upstream provided direct methods for installing the split components. So looking like: pkgname=('pkg1' 'pkg2') package_pkg1() { cd "$pkgbase-$pkgver" make DESTDIR="$pkgdir/" install-pkg1 } package_pkg2() { cd "$pkgbase-$pkgver" make DESTDIR="$pkgdir/" install-pkg2 } As time went by, Arch started splitting packages more - mostly to avoid pulling large dependencies onto a system for wider components. Packagers even started using (abusing) optional dependencies to avoid splitting. The current splitting approach leads to monstrosities like the Arch Linux gcc PKGBUILD [1] (of which I completely blame the current packagers and take no responsibility!). Recently, some packagers have been using a custom _pick function [2] to allow them to move specified files from the first package's "make install" and save them for a later split package. The _pick approach is more similar to how rpm/deb approaches work, but relies on the (non-guaranteed) stability of makepkg internals. I have roughly implemented an additional approach to package splitting that will improve this situation. Essentially, the "make install" is done in the stash() function, and the files are stashed for future use in packaging. The individual package_*() functions then provide the files to include in the package in a "filelist" array. This array allows the '*' wildcard, and '!' to exclude files. A simple example: pkgname=('foo' 'foo-docs') stash() { cd $pkgbase-$pkgver make DESTDIR=$stashdir install } package_foo() { filelist=('*' '!usr/share/docs/') ... } package_foo-docs() { filelist=('usr/share/docs/') ... } I'm seeking feedback on this approach before I finish the implementation and push this. Either replying to the email, or on the gitlab snippet [3]. Thanks!
