[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/7] support/graph-depends: ensure all packages get graphed

[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/7] support/graph-depends: ensure all packages get graphed

[Yann E. MORIN]

When a package:
  - has no dependency,
  - is not a first-level target,
  - is a cut-off point,

then this package is omitted from the dependency graph.

We currently have no such package, but the next commit will make
host-skeleton, which already matches the first two conditions, a cut-off
point too, and thus host-skeleton would not appear on the graph.

To ensure that all packages, whatever their conditions, are displayed,
we add them as a dependency of 'all'.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/7] support/graph-depends: also cut on host-skeleton

[Yann E. MORIN]

host-skeleton is a dependency of almost all packages, except a very few.
As such, it clutters the dependency graph uselessly.

Do with it as we do for the skeleton: cut the dependency chains.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 3/7] support/graph-depends: also cut on host-tar

[Yann E. MORIN]

When host-tar is needed, it is a mandatory dependency of all packages.
As such, drawing the dependency lines toward host-tar would uselessly
clutter the graph.

So, like for the skeleton and host-skeleton, we cut the dependency chains
toward host-tar.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 0/7] dependencies: ensure availability of host-tar, cleanups in graphs

[Yann E. MORIN]

Hello All!

This series brings two major changes:

 1- consistency cleanups in the dependency graph

 2- ensure that host-tar is available when we need it

The first part, covering the first three patches, is mostly a cleanup
pass, to ensure the graph is not too cluttered, but yet does not miss
out any package. This is pretty trivial, except for the first patch,
which has a detailed commit log: in some conditions, we may have missed
packages from the dependency graph. We did not have that situation with
our internal packages so far, but the host-skeleton cut-off really
uncovered it: when a package with no dependency is also a cut-off
point (to avoid cluterring), and is not a top-level dependency, then
that package is not displayed in the dependency graph, not even as a
dependency of 'ALL'. Fixing is pretty trivial: add any newly-discovered
package asa dependency of 'ALL'; transitivity removal will clanup the
mess afterward.

The second part, not much more complex either, ensures that host-tar is
built and installed before a download backend, that _locally_ generates
a tarball, is called. When a package downloaded from a repository is
downloaded 'early' in the build process, it may well be so-downloaded
before host-tar was built, because host-tar is only an extract
dependency (so far), so the system tar is used, which may generate
archives that do not match the hash we have for them.

As such, a new type of dependency is added, that guarantees ordering
before the download step. Then, host-tar is added as a download
dependency to packages which site method is one of the repository-based
downloads that call to tar: cvs, git and svn (bzr and hg use their
internal tarball generator).

Finally, the filesystems are made to depend on host-tar when it is
needed, too, because we do generate the intermediate tarball, which is
then extracted by all filesystems.


Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 4/7] core/package: postpone evaluation of dependency conditions

[Yann E. MORIN]

In the pkg-inner macro, all variables, but he positional arguments,
must be $$-prefixed, so that they are expanded only when the macro
is evaluated in each package, not when the macro is parsed.

It is to be noted, though, that the current code, even though incorrect
by the above rules, seemed to work. However, the upcoming addition of
download dependencies, mimicking that code, would not work unless it
was $$-prefixed.

So, for consistency sake, and for correctness sake, let's always use
the $$-prefix in the inner macro.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 5/7] core/package: add possibility to declare download dependencies

[Yann E. MORIN]

For some packages, we may need to have a certain set of host-tools built
before the download of said packages are attempted. For example, when
the system tar is not suitable, we will want to build our own tar before
we attempt a git download (because we generate a tarball in the git
backend).

Mimick the _EXTRACT_DEPENDENCIES, and introduce _DOWNLOAD_DEPENDENCIES.
As for _EXTRACT_DEPENDENCIES, we do not document _DOWNLOAD_DEPENDENCIES,
on the assumption that it is mostly for internal use.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 6/7] core/package: add host-tar dependency for downloads from repositories

[Yann E. MORIN]

Three of our download backends need a host tar that can generate
reproducible archives: cvs, git, and svn. The other two, hbzr and hg,
use their internal implementation.

So, for those three that need it, and a dependency on host-tar when the
system tar is not appropriate.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 7/7] fs: always depend on build host-tar if needed

[Yann E. MORIN]

Currently, the filesystems do not depend on building host-tar when it is
needed, even though all of them have to extract the intermediate tarball.

However, in degenerate (but legally valid) configurations with no
user-selectable package selected, host-tar would not be built, so the
rootfs images would use whatever improper tar the system has.

Add the conditional dependency to host-tar to the rootfs-common
intermediate image. Since this is the internal step that all real rootfs
generators depend on, they now properly depend on host-tar when needed.

In practice, when host-tar is needed, it will always be built before the
rootfs inages, because it is a dependency of all packages (except a very
few, like the skeleton), of which host-fakeroot, which is a mandatory
dependency of rootfs-comon anyway. But for consistency sake, let's
explicitly add host-tar as a dependency to rootfs-common too.

Note that rootfs-tar already had that dependency, and we leave it as-is
because it is semantically correct, even if superfluous.

[You put me in Cc of too many patches, so I don't notice when you *really* want
my response :-]

 In most cases, single-$ will work as well. In this particular case, after first
expansion you will get:

ifeq (,)
FOO_EXTRACT_DEPENDENCIES += host-tar
endif

which in the $(eval ...) will get evaluated to nothing.

 After this patch, after first expansion you get

ifeq ($(filter host-tar host-skeleton host-xz host-lzip host-fakedate,foo),)
FOO_EXTRACT_DEPENDENCIES += host-tar
endif

which the $(eval ...) still evaluates to nothing.


 The cases where $$ is really needed are fairly rare. The most obvious ones are
when you have an ifeq() using a variable that is defined in the same
inner-generic-package expansion. Less obvious but important for consistency is
to keep the "late binding" property. With single-$, the variable is expanded
immediately, so if it is still updated later in the makefiles, the new values
won't be used anymore. This would e.g. break $(1)-show-rdepends.


 Because it is very hard to remember when exactly you should use $$, we
introduced the rule: use $$ *everywhere*, except for $(1), $(2) etc. Thomas's
patches that fixed the dependencies broke that rule.

 Unfortunately, this patch still doesn't fix it...

Well, you were previously part of the discussions that lead to those
patches about the git backend, and you even partiually reviewed and
commented on an earlier revision of that git series, so it was only
natural that I added you in Cc of those patches...

Well, I might be totally numb here, but an empty string does equal
another empty string, and thus I'd expect that host-tar be added
as a dependency...

Which is now weird, because then host-tar would be its own dependency,
which clearly isn't the case:

    $ make -s printvars VARS=HOST_TAR_FINAL_ALL_DEPENDENCIES
    HOST_TAR_FINAL_ALL_DEPENDENCIES=host-skeleton

So, an empty string is not the same as another empty string... I'm
totally clueless now... :-/

There, I do agree...
