[Buildroot] [PATCH 0/5 v5] legal-info: extract packages to get license files (branch yem/legal)

[Yann E. MORIN]

From: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>

Hello All!

Here is a series that fixes the legal-info infra:
  - extracts sources before copying license files
  - saves license files even for no-redistribute packages
  - cleans up to account for the changes (comment and helper rename)


Changes v4 -> v5:
  - don't warn about missing license fioles for packages bundled
    with Buildroot  (Luca)
  - new patch 5/5 to display a proper error message for missing license
    files
  - typoes

Changes v3 -> v4:
  - save licens files for no-redistribute packages  (Luca)
  - download sources before copying to legal-info/sources/
  - rename a legal-info helper

Changes v2 -> v3:
  - fix manifest for no-redistribute, or overriden, or local packages


Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/5] legal-info: extract even no-redistribute packages

[Yann E. MORIN]

From: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>

Currently, if a package is marked _REDISTRIBUTE = NO, then legal-info
will not try to extract it first.

If that package also declares some _LICENSE_FILES, legal-info fails
if it is the only action we're trying to run:

    $ cat defconfig
    BR2_INIT_NONE=y
    BR2_PACKAGE_LIBFSLCODEC=y
    $ make BR2_DEFCONFIG=$(pwd)/defconfig defconfig
    $ make libfslcodec-legal-info
    /bin/sh: /home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/O/legal-info/licenses.txt: No such file or directory
    make[1]: *** [libfslcodec-legal-info] Error 1

Fix this by always having legal-info extract the archives if one or
more _LICENSE_FILES are specified.

We do this for all types of packages: overriden, local or 'normal'
remote packages. Even though we do not save the sources for the
overriden or local packages, we need to save their licensing info,
so we need to extract them.

This implies that we now need to explicitly add PKG-source as a dependency
of legal-info for packages we want to save (ie. redistributable, non-local
and non-overriden packages).

Changes v4 -> v5:
  - my usual s/pacakge/package/

Changes v3 -> v4:
  - legal-info needs to depend on PKG-source when it needs to save a
    package's tarball

Changes v2 -> v3:
  - don't include source URL of no-redistribute, or overriden, or local
    packages in the manifest

Changes v1 -> v2:
  - this is not fixing the autobuilders failure it was written to fix,
    so remove the references to such build failures  (Thomas P)
  - also extract overriden and local packages  (Fabio)

Note that the present patchset does not solve _this_ error.

The error that your patchset _does_ solve is:

   $ make BR2_DL_DIR=~/src legal-info-prepare libfslcodec-legal-info
   >>>   Collecting legal info
   cat: 
/home/murray/devel/buildroot-test/output/build/libfslcodec-3.5.7-1.0.0/EULA: 
No such file or directory
   make: *** [libfslcodec-legal-info] Error 1
   $


The error that you reported due to the fact that output/legal-info has
not been created yet.

Workaround:
$ make BR2_DL_DIR=~/src legal-info-prepare libfslcodec-legal-info
                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is not related to your patches, and it's due to the fact that
the legal-info stuff is meant to be executed only from its top-level
target:
   $ make legal-info
which in turn runs:
  - legal-info-clean, which removes the entire legal-info subdir;
  - legal-info-prepare, which creates dirs and prepares skeleton files
    and the manifest heading;
  - <pkg>-legal-info, which fills the skeleton files.

Maybe this could be fixed by making all $(1)-legal-info targets depend
on legal-info-clean and then legal-info-prepare.
If it works it would be a nice improvement, although mostly visible
when testing the legal infra. For real cases I don't see a big point in
running anything else than `make legal-info`.

Said this way, it looks like we're adding a dependency. Instead we are
changing the dependence from PKG-extract to PKG-source, which is one
step less (-extract implies -source), so bottom line we are removing a
dependency.

Better explained IMO:
  This implies that we now need only PKG-source, not PKG-extract anymore,
  as a dependency of legal-info for packages we want to save (.....).

Well, that's not even the error I'm trying to solve. In fact, I'm trying
to solve this:

    $ cat defconfig
    BR2_arm=y
    BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_EGLIBC=y
    BR2_PACKAGE_LIBFSLCODEC=y
    $ make BR2_DEFCONFIG=$(pwd)/defconfig defconfig
    $ make legal-info
    [--SNIP--]
    cat: /home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/O/build/libfslcodec-3.5.7-1.0.0/EULA: No
    such file or directory

Indeed. I was a bit too fast at writing the commit log (it happens quite
often these days, I must be moire careful.) Sorry.

So do I.

OK, will rephrase.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/5] legal-info: save license files even for local or overriden packages

[Yann E. MORIN]

From: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>

Even if we do not save the sources for local or overrident packages because
it is too complex, we can still quite easily save the license files.

Also, having the license files is a very important part of complying with
the licenses.

Move the copy of license files out of the non-local, non-overriden package
case, but still in the case where packages have a _SOURCE defined, to
avoid catching packages bundled in Buildroot (eg. mkpasswd et al.)

[Buildroot] [PATCH 3/5] legal-info: add a comment about what packages we save the tarballs of

[Yann E. MORIN]

From: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>

As the legal-info infra only (rightfully) saves the tarballs of packages
that:
  - we want to redistribute,
  - and are not local,
  - and are not overriden,

add a comment stating so.

This should clarify the code-block, which although trivial to read,
was not easy to interpret without thinking thouroughly about it.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 4/5] legal-info: rename legal-warning-pkg-savednothing helper

[Yann E. MORIN]

From: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>

This helper was called when none of the sources or license
files were saved.

Now we handle license files separately from the sources,
this is no longer the case: they are only called when the
sources are not saved.

Rename the handler and change the warning message accordingly.

I'm OK with the idea, but I not with the name.
Why "license"? This has to do with the source tarball.
Also, I would keep "warning" in the name, as it's what it is.

So, I'd rename it to legal-warning-nosource.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 5/5] legal-info: properly error out on missing license file

[Yann E. MORIN]

From: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>

When saving the license files, if a declared license file is missing,
print a proper error message, instead of the sometime-criptic error
message from 'cp'.

Note: when I wrote this back in March 2014, I had a concrete example of
a criptic error message (the name of the license did not make it obvious
we were saving a license file?), but today I can't remember what it was
exactly.

Since I believe showing a properly-formatted error message to the user
is anyway a good thing, I kept that patch. Feel free to ditch it if you
don't like it.

I may be missing something, but I wonder what cryptic error you had
seen. I tried removing a license file and got, before your patch:

   cat: 
/home/murray/devel/buildroot-test/output/build/busybox-1.22.1/LICENSE: 
No such file or directory

Except for the "cat: " prefix, it's quite understandable IMHO.

With your patch applied:

   ERROR: busybox: license file LICENSE not found

This is much more concise, but gives a less info about where the
LICENSE file should be found. To the inexperienced user, the path might
be a useful hint.
OTOH, the "ERROR: busybox: " prefix is very informative.

How about changing your message to:
   ERROR: busybox: license file LICENSE not found in /.../busybox-1.22.1/
or
   ERROR: busybox: license file /.../busybox-1.22.1/LICENSE not found

Well, now I tried again, that's what I observed:

    $ make legal-info
    [--SNIP--]
    >>> busybox 1.22.1 Extracting
    bzcat /home/ymorin/src/busybox-1.22.1.tar.bz2 | tar --strip-components=1
    -C /home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/O/build/busybox-1.22.1  -xf -
    cat: /home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/O/build/libfslcodec-3.5.7-1.0.0/EULA: No
    such file or directory
    make[1]: *** [libfslcodec-legal-info] Error 1

So, OK, the error is explicitly about fslcodec. But remember that the
line  ">>> busybox 1.22.1 Extracting"  is highlighted, and thus what
stand out is the 'busybox' package, and it took me a while to understand
why on Earth busybox was trying to save an EULA file, when moments later
I saw that it was in fact in the libfslcodec package...

But since this series is expressly about this error case (no-redistribute
packages failed to save the license files), the initial error should be
handled.

I'll redo my tsting here to see if that's still a concern now...

Yes, we can use the full path to the missing license file, indeed.

Thanks! :-)
