[racket-dev] Too many license files
Hi, As I am testing upcoming 6.0 release build process, one thing that strikes me is the number of LICENCE.txt files, 166 of them. add the 3 for the copying COPYING-libscheme.txt, COPYING_LESSER.txt, COPYING.txt makes 169 in total. Is is really necessary to have the 166 copies of the same file ? Mind you it is not the size but identical file being installed 166 times is the issue here Please DO NOT put me in To or CC, just reply to the mailinglist/newsgroup -- Life is endless possibilities _ Racket Developers list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev

The starter executable Matthew is used by `raco exe' to generate executables (that sometimes Matthew refer back to gracket). Ok there is progress to report, I can now build the core package alone. However one thing is missing, the man pages are not installed by the make install phase. For openSUSE (yet it should be the same for other distros) every executable file should have a man page.

Ok there is some progress but I am still not there. Let me briefly go over the current problems, this could be due to I am building rpm packages, but nevertheless: 1. Makefile in the main directory (not racket/src/Makefile.in) does not understand rpmmacro %_smp_mflags which basically sets the CPU and JOBS automatically setting CUPS=`/usr/bin/getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN` get this done easier That goes also true for %configure macro which sets most of the things based on the build machine ie /usr/lib64 for x86_64 and /usr/lib for i586. Not being able to the rpm macros makes packaging pain So currently I am avoiding using this Makefile 2. using racket/src configure for x86_64 build and make produces this make[6]: Leaving directory `/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/racket-5.90.0.1/racket/src/gracket' cd ..; rm -f /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/racket-5.90.0.1-22.1.x86_64/usr/lib64/racket/gracketcgc cd ..; rm -f /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/racket-5.90.0.1-22.1.x86_64/usr/lib64/racket/gracket cd ..; echo 'MROPTIONS=' /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/racket-5.90.0.1-22.1.x86_64/usr/lib64/racket/buildinfo cd ..; echo MRLIBS= /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/racket-5.90.0.1-22.1.x86_64/usr/lib64/racket/buildinfo cd ..; echo MRLDFLAGS=-pthread -L../racket \ /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/racket-5.90.0.1-22.1.x86_64/usr/lib64/racket/buildinfo cd ..; mkdir -p /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/racket-5.90.0.1-22.1.x86_64/usr/lib64; make[5]: Leaving directory `/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/racket-5.90.0.1/racket/src/gracket' make install-wx_xt-3m make[5]: Entering directory `/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/racket-5.90.0.1/racket/src/gracket' make install-lib-3m-wx_xt make[6]: Entering directory `/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/racket-5.90.0.1/racket/src/gracket' make[6]: Leaving directory `/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/racket-5.90.0.1/racket/src/gracket' cd ..; /usr/bin/libtool --mode=install cp gracket/gracket3m \ /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/racket-5.90.0.1-22.1.x86_64/usr/lib64/racket/gracket libtool: install: cp gracket/.libs/gracket3m \ /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/racket-5.90.0.1-22.1.x86_64/usr/lib64/racket/gracket ^^ That should not be the case gracket is not a library file it belongs to /usr/bin gracket: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), \ dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, There is also starter as /usr/lib64/racket/starter which has it come down to play yet but that is also wrong location for an executable starter: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, Thanks -- o.o.o o_o__o _o ,_o o_ | `|' (|))'),' ` |( ' (, ,( )| ' ( ) [ ] [ ]\ / \/ \/ _ Racket Developers list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev

Matthew Besides starting from the git repository, you could also try out Matthew the new source snapshot: Matthew http://www.cs.utah.edu/plt/snapshots/ Matthew The label on the Source snapshots really should say something Matthew like kernel in source form, plus pre-built packages and Matthew documentation. The Minimal Racket variant doesn't have any Matthew packages, but it has the core collections pre-built, and Matthew installing a package from the main distribution gets the package Matthew in pre-built form from the snapshot site. Sorry my understanding from a source package is just source nothing built or pre-compiled interim product. So source = text files + icons. Yours don't count as source for me. Matthew I tried out the Racket | Source version, which took about one Matthew minute to download (83 MB), about 3-4 minutes for `configure' Matthew plus `make', and about 40 seconds for `make install'. After `make Matthew install', DrRacket was ready to go, and all documentation (for Matthew the main distribution) was available. Yes but my source package is 16 MB with xz compression and circa 21 MB when I package it as tgz. Surely they are smaller than your packages. That also means in the future I would expect a source only package to be available just like it is currently for the 5.3.5 release. -- o.o.o o_o__o _o ,_o o_ | `|' (|))'),' ` |( ' (, ,( )| ' ( ) [ ] [ ]\ / \/ \/ _ Racket Developers list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev

Matthew We'll need documentation to say which package provides a given
Matthew library.
Matthew I don't anticipate documentation for a package that says which
Matthew other packages it depends on, because that seems like an
Matthew implementation detail of the package. Similarly, the
Matthew documentation for a library does not specify what other libraries
Matthew it imports --- only the bindings that the library provides.
As a side note I have a patch that puts all generated documentation to
/usr/share/doc/packages as the Makefile 5.3.5 (also the previous ones)
do not honor the command line given parameters to the make command. I
can send the patch (which is trivial anyway) but I guess the when the
system will be ready the whole Makefile will be different.
Matthew I think the new system is as ready as it's going to get without
Matthew further feedback, and my guess is that the problem hasn't been
Matthew fixed. Can you check with the latest?
I have some issues compared to 5.3.5 where it was easy to fix. This is not the
case with the current git HEAD
1. configure and Makefile should allow docdir parameter given at as an arg
generated documentation (ie. html pdf) and other docs (README License etc)
should be located in for opensuse /usr/share/doc/packages/PACKAGE-NAME since
documention can be packaged separately and the end user has the option of not
installing it/them.
2. collects path should be allowed for another location ie.
/usr/lib/racked/collects for opensuse should be /usr/share/racket/collects
Finally currently build system can't complete the install stage
./racketcgc -cu ./collects-path.rkt \
/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/racket-5.6.0-0.x86_64/usr/lib64/racket/starter
\
/usr/lib64/racket/collects
vector-ref: index is out of range
index: 2
valid range: [0, 1]
vector:
'#(/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/racket-5.6.0-0.x86_64/usr/lib64/racket/starter
/usr/lib64/racket/collects)
So at the moment I haven't been able to create a rpm package
the configure options are
%configure --enable-shared \
--disable-static --docdir=%_defaultdocdir/%name
--disable-strip --enable-places
--enable-lt=/usr/bin/libtool
make
make install DESTDIR=/BUILDROOT/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.x86_64
Thanks
