While trying to build xmltv I got this:

NOTE: The MD5Sums did not match. Wanted:
'495fd8c320f67a0c8e0b90ccb060f0ea' and Got:
'68d9a93d507bbf917e1f3ad294fd5727'
NOTE: Task failed: Checksum of
'http://xmltwig.com/xmltwig/XML-Twig-3.33.tar.gz' failed

How should I handle this. Of course I can change the checksum, but i
don't think that is the intention :-)
Is there a version somewhere cached that has the old checksum (so I
can compare).
Or how else should I handle this?

Frans

Check the angstrom mirror or sources.oe.org and download that version
and then diff it.

Try asking the xmltwig people what happened.

Hm. Did that.
Apparently version control is not very strong for Twig.
The diff for the changes file:

But of course there's no magic that will remove the old cached tarball
out of one's downloads directory when this sort of thing happens.
(Busybox has been known to do this, too)

What do folks think we should do about that when it occurs?
a) support two entries (old and new) in checksums.ini
b) do nothing (leave as is)
c) add some sort of support so that the user gets additional information
   with the new checksum match failure explaining that the checksum was
   updated and they need to manually remove the old (bad) tarball

Good question... currently we only check the checksum after download, a first 
start would be to do it before unpack... this would create an error and we 
could implement c) later... (e.g. by creating a old_checksums.ini)

 From my previous run in with twig:

checksums.ini: update entry for libxml-twig-perl
The Twig people are idiots because they keep replacing the tarball, a 
snippet from diffing the two:

d) rename the tarball slighty and mirror in on a known good server (e.g. 
angstrom sourcemirror) and have OE use that.

IMO (d) is the safest and the right thing to do; this avoids more core
to be written and avoids also we use changed versions without
noticing.

Ok, I'll leave it to someone with better access so e.g. the
sourcemirror to change things.
BTW I've exchanged an email with the author of twig. He stated that
the version on CPAN (3.22) is the official version and that the
version we use is the current development version and subject to
change.
He proposed to move the 3.33 version to CPAN (which I encouraged).
Guess we should then move to the cpan version which is the fixed one.

Frans

PS: and I did not think of cached versions of the files, otherwise I
would probably taken somewhat more caution before upgrading
checksums.ini

Even better; I fully agree with it.

If he can do it, it would avoid problems to us.

I hope he can. The 3.33 version has changed again :-(

I implemented option 'd':

http://cgit.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/openembedded/commit/?id=7e8f2afa6fb064aaa3b477456c60f64b20caedeb

And I have to repeat that the twig upstream are idiots for behaving like 
this. May the fleas of a thousand camels infest their sensitive regions!

Simple and fast :-)

BTW, please, use a shorter first line commit message since it is
easier to read and also shows properly in the week log.

Cheers,

Koen,

I usually ignore your pick of language, but I think using such a
language in a commit -- visible to all potential users or contributors
to OpenEmbedded -- is damaging the reputation of the project as a whole.

:M:

Which part of the commit message in 
http://cgit.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/openembedded/commit/?id=7e8f2afa6fb064aaa3b477456c60f64b20caedeb

Without making a comment on the commit message:

As stated before the 3.33 version is clearly mentioned as "latest
development version" on http://xmltwig.com/xmltwig/
The last stable version is 3.32
This project decided to provide snapshots (or whatever you want to
call it) of the new version. In this case 3.33. Their choice.

IMHO OE should have used the latest stable version.

Making remarks about the upstream maintainers is not helpful.

3.33 is a version. A version is a point, not a distance. If it's a 
snapshot than you should call is twig-snapshot, twig-3.33rc1 or whatever.
Replacing a versioned tarball weekly is *bad*, since you (as upstream 
maintainer) don't know what the "3.33" is your users are complaining about.
And note that *nowhere* on that page it is stated that the development 
version keeps getting updated. And for that matter it also doesn't say 
3.32 is any better.

regards,

Koen

Note that I am only relaying what the dev told me and that it by no
means reflect my personal opinion.

And indeed they do not mention that the unstable version can change,
nor that the stable won't change.
It might be that cpan has some rules for not updating stable versions
so it might be that pulling from cpan is better. I don't know cpan and
its way of working well enough to make a statement about that.

--- My personal $ 0.02:
If I want to reuse something from the web, I'm happy that I can get
it, as it saves me work.
If it is not fully the way I want it, I try to convince or educate
them to do things differently.
If they won't, either I have to live with it or avoid that specific
piece of software.
Making snide remarks in a public area only creates irritation and
frustration and does not help./
--- End of my $ 0.02 (and someday I'll learn how to insert a euro
symbol in my emails :-) )

I fully agree and I didn't notice it was state on their website; In
this case the only wrong side here is OE (not upstream).

If it is bad or not it is up to them (it is their project). If it is
stated that it is a development version in their website then we ought
not take it.

Except if you want to read the docs, because the website states that you 
should read the docs of the development version. That fact coupled with 
no obvious signs on that page that the development version shouldn't get 
used, I wouldn't say OE is wrong to use the 3.33 version. Heck, the 
development version is the top item on that page.

Either way, xmltwig is now on "the list".

regards,

Koen

I'm with you on this one, Koen. Changing a versioned tarball is just
dumb - it goes against common sense and long standing convention in
release engineering.

As for choosing the 3.32 version, who's to say they won't add a bugfix
and update that tarball too?

Beacuse that's not the way the whole CPAN (Perl's packages repository)
works. Version 3.32 is there, version 3.33 is not.
