portmaster and IGNOREME
in [Ports]
|
From: Aristedes Maniatis on 24 Apr 2010 01:43 I have a package which is not built from a port (it is commercial software). I've put an +IGNOREME file in the package folder. But portmaster will not ignore it: #portmaster -a [snip...] ===>>> Proceed? y/n [y] ===>>> Starting build for for ports that need updating <<<=== ===>>> Launching child to update CGatePro-5.3.5 ===>>> No ORIGIN in /var/db/pkg/CGatePro-5.3.5/+CONTENTS ===>>> Aborting update ===>>> Update for CGatePro-5.3.5 failed ===>>> Aborting update Unless there is some clear documented reason, portmaster should ignore ports which are marked to be ignored. The documentation reads: If you do a regular update of the port, or if the -a option is being used you will be asked if you want to update the port anyway. I am not being asked, it just fails the entire port upgrade process, unless I use -ia and specifically exclude this package. I don't know enough about package files to know why ORIGIN is required, even for packages which aren't generated from the ports system.

I've gotten a lot of noise similar to that related to homegrown packages I've dealt with at work when running pkg_add // pkg_create as it builds up package origins when it reads the contents of the plists -- not sure why a ports-ism made it into pkg_install though, but flz most likely knows why. > #portmaster -a > > [snip...] > > ===>>> Proceed? y/n [y] > > ===>>> Starting build for for ports that need updating <<<=== > > ===>>> Launching child to update CGatePro-5.3.5 > > ===>>> No ORIGIN in /var/db/pkg/CGatePro-5.3.5/+CONTENTS > ===>>> Aborting update > > ===>>> Update for CGatePro-5.3.5 failed > ===>>> Aborting update > > > Unless there is some clear documented reason, portmaster should ignore ports > which are marked to be ignored.

This I don't know (and is potentially a bug or a needed enhancement with portmaster). dougb would be able to fill you in on this.

You're right, and I see the bug. There are actually a few places where the lack of ORIGIN leads to Bad Things happening where the +IGNOREME file isn't checked, so I'm going to work on a more general solution for this. Meanwhile you should be able to do 'portmaster -a -x CGatePro' and have it work as expected. > I don't know > enough about package files to know why ORIGIN is required, even for > packages which aren't generated from the ports system. In the general case lack of ORIGIN indicates that the pkg directory for that file is corrupt, which is a serious problem that requires user attention. Also, most 3rd party packages contain an ORIGIN of some sort, and portmaster does include code to handle "/usr/ports/foo/bar does not exist, but the pkg directory has an +IGNOREME file" gracefully for this exact reason. The case of "no ORIGIN at all but the pkg directory has an +IGNOREME file" is sufficiently rare that the bug has so far been unexposed.

The +IGNOREME file was a portupgrade invention that portmaster users asked me to support. TMK the base ports tools have no knowledge of it. hth, Doug -- ... and that's just a little bit of history repeating. -- Propellerheads Improve the effectiveness of your Internet presence with a domain name makeover! http://SupersetSolutions.com/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

CGatePro is only examined AFTER that point. It does not appear in the list before the "Proceed? y/n" question. In this case, since it is a package and not a port, why does portmaster look at it at all? There is no useful information available about whether it can be upgraded (I'm not running with -P). I don't really want to have to put IGNOREME in that package... I only did that to try and make portmaster ignore something it should already be ignoring. Perhaps your improvements to ORIGIN handling will also deal with this. Thank you for a great tool.
