Re: [Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] update mkinstalldirs to latest version (2009) (#275)

Specific to OS X portability: there are no efforts to port RPM to OS X (or Mac OS) natively (i.e. using only utilities that come from the OS vendor) that I am aware of for ~15 years. All existing porting efforts involve Fink, MacPorts or Homebrew, and so "portability" includes duplicating

Re: [Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] update mkinstalldirs to latest version (2009) (#275)

Again: my 1st suggestion was for a removal from git to avoid an annoying warning when the file (as always) is replaced by autoreconf. I added historical context about why an otherwise generated file was added to CVS (at the time), and have personally seen the annoyances that happen when

FWIW, I have *repeatedly* argued for native (i.e. --prefix=/usr, etc etc) installation on OS X to no avail. I have also successfully ported and run RPM on OS X for many years. Meanwhile I return to my original statement: > ... there are no efforts to port RPM to OS X (or Mac OS) natively ...

Re: [Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] update mkinstalldirs to latest version (2009) (#275)

You might just as easily drop mkinstalldirs. The original motivation for including mkinstalldirs was from last century: certain ancient SysV non-linux platforms lacked "mkdir -p". Carrying mkinstalldirs was the solution. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

I would share a case I want you to upload the the rpm Python bindings to PyPI. A python package `rebase-helper` [1] depends on the rpm Python bindings. For this reason, `rebase-helper` can not add `install_requires` to `setup.py` file. If we want to install `rebase-helper` from source, I am

Re: [Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] update mkinstalldirs to latest version (2009) (#275)

There are 3 issues: 1) mkdir -p isn't portable and so mkinstalldirs is needed 2) mkinstalldirs is distributed in /usr/lib/rpm 3) mkinstalldirs is copied and tracked in git or other VCS My comment was wrto issue #3: mkinstalldirs was originally added to RPM in order to assuage the bosses

Re: [Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] update mkinstalldirs to latest version (2009) (#275)

So today, the problem isn't that `mkdir -p` doesn't exist, but at least on my Mac (running macOS Sierra), it seems to fail the test by autoconf, so it's used in place of `mkdir -p`. I don't know if upstream BSD mkdir improved enough to pass the autoconf check, as I don't have a FreeBSD system
