[gentoo-dev] Please review fortran-2.eclass
Hi all,
please review and comment the attached eclass.
Purpose of this eclass is the correct setting of a working fortran
compiler. There are numerous bugs which suffer from one or the other
defect here. Anybody who touch a fortran package knows what I am talking
about.
Currently we support two fortran compilers in the tree, soonish there
will be three. But we also like to like to allowed any out-of-tree
compiler. So depending on gcc[fortran] or virtual/fortran doesn't
fullfill the needs for one or the other reason, which I will not
elaborate again.
Our solution:
1. Depend on virtual/fortran. This will force the ordinary user to use
gfortran through gcc[fortran]. Or the intel compiler has to be selected
via FC=ifort. With this also any other solution can be selected.
2. Test whether FC is a working fortran compiler. Why? gcc:4.5[fortran]
and gcc:4.6[-fortran] can be emerged and gcc-4.6 selected. Thereby
virtual/fortran dependdencies are fullfiled but no working compiler is
there. Same happens in many other constellations.
3. Test for openmp support. For a mixture of the above reasons, it is
impossible to depend on openmp capabilities if user do change anything
from default.
4. Get_fcomp is needed for some packages which do not work with the full
name, e.g. seperate makefiles for intel and gnu compiler.
5. Once FC is working, set all other variable possibly defining fortran
compilers of any flavour to FC.
6. It is still possible without any change to ebuilds to integrate the
test functions in the toolchain-funcs eclass later, if we decide this is
a better way to handle those functions.
Thanks for attention, justin

I wonder if it's possible to take advantage of EAPI4's pkg_pretend, and
fall back to pkg_setup for older EAPIs. pkg_pretend makes it possible to
fix the setup before running emerge, instead of things breaking in the
middle.
It's just a suggestion.

You are right. Thought about it, but refused it, because I din't want to
force EAPI=4. But right I can just use a fall back for EAPI4. Thanks

[gentoo-dev] Packages that explicitly DEPEND on sys-apps/sed
Judging from [1], a couple of thousands of ebuilds DEPEND on sys-apps/sed, which is a system package (in profiles/base/packages) since at least 2004. It boils down to some 2535 ebuilds, 1409 packages and 14 eclasses, some requiring a version as high as 4.0.5, which went stable in 2003. What do you say.

To follow up on that, some 496 ebuilds explicitly DEPEND on sys-apps/sed, with only a few apparently needing 4.1.5 and just the one seemingly requiring 4.2 (though it isn't obvious from the actual sed invocation). I haven't checked which of those RDEPEND on sys-apps/sed too, but it shouldn't be many. That means some two thousand acquire this DEPEND from an eclass, so for the majority of packages, this redundancy could be easily fixed, while the rest of them would probably keep inspiring developers new and old to keep introducing the dep or indeed be insecure about removing it. jer

Since sys-apps/sed is a system package, I would vote for removing the dependency from the ebuilds/eclasses. William pgpSsg0R1RLJy.pgp Description: PGP signature

It's worth noting that stage1 and stage2 tarballs do not contain full system sets. Therefore, we can't assume that sys-apps/sed will be included in those stages unless we use something other than the system set to pull it into the stage1. A couple of possible a solutions are: A) Modify $PORTDIR/scripts/bootstrap.sh to ensure that sed is installed in stage1. B) Keep a sys-apps/sed dependency in the sys-apps/portage ebuilds, so that bootstrap.sh will pull sed into stage1 as a dependency of sys-apps/portage. -- Thanks, Zac
