[Buildroot] [RFC 1/2] non-versioned packages

[Buildroot] [RFC 1/2] non-versioned packages

[Alex Suykov]

In case (PKG)_VERSION is empty, do not attempt to download sources
for the package. Attempts to download (package)-undefined.tar.gz
are pointless, the file is not likely to exist.

Also, output/build/(package) looks better and makes more sense than
output/build/(package)-undefined for such packages.

Non-versioned packages within buildroot: skeleton and mke2img.

The actual case the prompted me to do the change: I'm using buildroot
as a test rig for building and running HEAD shapshots of a local git repo.
"HEAD" is not a proper version, but without these changes I could only
get "package-unknown" or "package-HEAD", and it took some effort to prevent
download attempts.

I'm not sure how common this is, but it's possible. And since no proper
downloadable package should ever come without a version, changing the way
empty VERSION is handled should affect them.

Wrong. We also have:
    googlefontdirectory
    gadgetfs-test
  * initscripts
 r+ * mcookie
    cache-calibrator

[*] like skeleton and mke2img, those are internal packages. so it's
normal they have no version.
[+] mcookie is now provided by util-linux, so we should probably get rid
of our internal copy.

Also, there has been a new package discussed on the list today that had
no version either (libsoil):
    http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2015-September/140370.html
    http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2015-September/140480.html
    http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2015-September/140508.html

And yes, I would like to keep being able to have packages without a
version.Even if  upstream are not playing by the rules, it is perfectly
legit that we have support for that.

Yann E. MORIN.

Sorry, bad wording in patch description. Packages with explicitly
set (PKG)_SOURCE are ok, they only get build dir name change:
output/build/initscripts-undefined -> output/build/initscripts and so on.

The change is for packages that lack both _VERSION and _SOURCE.
Current BR behavior is to assign (PKG)_SOURCE = (pkg)-undefined.tar.gz
and try to download that, which I think is never correct.
It's either explicitly-set custom SOURCE, or no sources at all.

[Thomas Petazzoni]

Peter, Arnout, Yann,

What do you think of this patch (and the following one) ? Even if the
commit log isn't very clear, I believe the idea behind the patch is
quite good. It is indeed a bit pointless to set <pkg>_VERSION to
"undefined" when it is not defined.

Though I see that really only as a minor cosmetic improvement: besides
changing the message and the name of the build directory, it doesn't
change anything.

But let's take a decision on this, and not keep the patches around
forever.

 Well, I do like the current situation that in the build directory it's very
explicity that the package has no explicit version. But I don't find it very
important so I can accept this change.

 It actually does change something: it avoids downloads of packages without
explicit _SOURCE or _VERSION. This sounds like a useful feature to me.

However, I'm still not convinced that the commit log is correct. What
about something like;

    core: do not attempt to download when no _VERSION and no _SOURCE

    Currently, when the package defines no _SOURCE and no _VERSION
    variables, we end up trying to download <PACKAGE>-undefined.tar.gz.

    This is utterly pointless.

    Change the logic to not attempt a download when neither _SOURCE nor
    _VERSION is set:
      - do not set an indefined _VERSION to "undefined"
      - do not append an empty (or "undefined") version to the package
        rawname
      - use the package rawname in the <ESSAGE macro

    Consequently, for packages that have no _VERSION, the build
    directory will be just the package name (which to some may look
    nicer than the current "package-undefined").

    Furthermore, the message trace is also a bit leaner (to the same
    people that find "package" nicer than "package-undefined"). ;-)

Question is whether it is correct that mke2img and skeleton are unversioned.
Packages that are similar are makedevs, mkpasswd and getent, where the
_VERSION is explicitly set to match the Buildroot version:
MAKEDEVS_VERSION = buildroot-$(BR2_VERSION)
I think that mke2img is in the same boat as these packages, and so
should follow the same strategy.

No problem, text updated.
And the patch itself updated to apply cleanly onto current master
(nothing significant, just line numbers).

I'm sending it as PATCH, but without v2 because the original message was RFC.

 +1 to that.

 Alex, will you send a v2 that sets the version of mke2img and skeleton to
buildroot-$(BR2_VERSION) instead?
