[arch-dev-public] install scripts in core
by Allan McRae 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

Hi, After the recent issues with install scriplets failing depending on the order packages were installed, I decided to do a complete review of the install files for every package in [core]. Here is a list of packages and commands they use which are not in their dependency tree: dbus-core: passwd (shadow) e2fsprogs: install-info (texinfo) fakeroot echo (coreutils) filesystem: chmod (coreutils) grep heimdal install-info (texinfo) inetutils install-info (texinfo) ipw2100-fw cat (coreutils) ipw2200-fw cat (coreutils) libsasl cat (coreutils) mlocate: echo (coreutils) ndiswrapper perl - /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper: /usr/bin/perl: bad interpreter: No such file or directory tiacx-firmware cat (coreutils) udev: filesystem - warning: can't open /etc/fstab: No such file or directory The install-info ones can be fixed without adding an additional dep in the same way as readline, bash and glibc now do. All the cat and echo calls can probably be replaced with a bash builtin (printf) although I have not tested. The others should have dependencies added to stop install script failures but I have not check if that would create loops (I think most are fine). The install scripts for lilo and vi also fail if bash is not installed (for some unknown reason). Lilo is just and old style "/bin/true" script so is easily fixed but I do not understand these two issues... Allan

[arch-dev-public] [PATCH] check_packages: fix stupid assumption on script location.
by Xavier Chantry 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

The parse_pkgbuilds.sh script was assumed to be in the current working directory, which is quite stupid since check_packages.py can be called from anywhere. Now it only assumes that check_packages.py and parse_pkgbuilds.sh are in the same directory. This should fix the empty integrity checks on arch-dev :) Signed-off-by: Xavier Chantry <shiningxc(a)gmail.com> --- cron-jobs/check_archlinux/check_packages.py | 6 ++---- 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/cron-jobs/check_archlinux/check_packages.py b/cron-jobs/check_archlinux/check_packages.py index f0fd4a5..0392368 100755 --- a/cron-jobs/check_archlinux/check_packages.py +++ b/cron-jobs/check_archlinux/check_packages.py @@ -50,12 +50,10 @@ class Depend: self.mod = mod def parse_pkgbuilds(repos,arch): - oldcwd = os.getcwd() - os.chdir(absroot) for repo in repos: - data = commands.getoutput(oldcwd + '/parse_pkgbuilds.sh ' + arch + ' ' + repo) + data = commands.getoutput(os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0]) + '/parse_pkgbuilds.sh ' + + arch + ' ' + absroot + '/' + repo) parse_data(repo,data) - os.chdir(oldcwd) def parse_data(repo,data): attrname = None -- 1.6.1.2
