Hello everybody,
This branch adds a "sage-sanity-check-package" script that uses the 'spkg-
src'
scripts. The goal is to have an easy way to check, when a new-style
package gets
udpated, that the new package is precisely "spkg-src" builds.
Right now our 'spkg-spkg' scripts all do different things. In order to use
'spkg-src' scripts in an automatic way, I made the following assumption:
- When `./sage-src' is run in a build/pkg/<package>/ folder, it creates
the
package archive whose name is described in checksums.ini
- There is un upstream/ an archive with the same name
- Their contents are compared with 'diff -r'
Currently, almost none of our packages satisfy those assumptions (*).
What would you think of having a script like that? That would 'normalize'
the
situations of our spkg-src scripts, and we will solve the many
inconsistencies
in our packaging. That will also make sure that everything we do on a
package is
listed by the spkg-src script.
Have fun,
Nathann
(*) Some seem to, but then they are named file.tar.gz while the file is
not
gzipped. Or else the file in upstream/ is not exactly what is in
checksum.ini. Or spkg-src downloads the *latest version* instead of
the one
whose version is hardcoded in checsksums.ini. You get the picture.
