v4-0-test and v4-1-test patch

I think --with-perl-vendordir should be
--with-perl-vendorlib
and the default should be
read_out('print $Config{vendorlib}')[0]

The buildtools/wafadmin/ change should be in its own commit
Comment 5 Andreas Schneider 2014-02-27 20:21:09 UTC
read_out('print $Config{vendorlib}')[0] will not work in autobuild! A user can't install to /usr/share/perl5/vendor_lib. Kai wanted it to be in the installation path cause you can set $PERL5LIB. The same would apply to python ...


I used --with-perl-vendordir to be the same pattern as think --with-perl-archdir.

No, that uses

        if getattr(Options.options, 'perlarchdir', None):
                conf.env.ARCHDIR_PERL = Options.options.perlarchdir
        else:
                conf.env.ARCHDIR_PERL = read_out('print $Config{sitearch}')[0]

While you just used:

        conf.env.VENDORDIR_PERL = Options.options.perlvendordir

Also ${DATAROOTDIR}/perl5/vendor_perl, which typically leads to
/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl is not always the correct path.
On my ubuntu 12.04 system I have 'vendorlib' => '/usr/share/perl5'.

The options default is None. So by default it uses the sitearch directory, which is e.g. /usr/lib64/perl5/sitearch. I've tried to push something like that to autobuild it failed cause it can't install to /usr !!!

> While you just used:

>         conf.env.VENDORDIR_PERL = Options.options.perlvendordir

Yes, cause the option has a default. Which is default='${DATAROOTDIR}/perl5/vendor_perl'

That's why I added an option so a packager can correctly specify the correct directory!

If you want read_out('print $Config{vendorlib}')[0] to be the default, you need to change autobuild and the buildfarm first!

Then we need to explicitly specify it in autobuild, like we specify
--prefix.

Then we need to do that:-)
Comment 12 Kai Blin 2014-02-28 11:16:32 UTC
What I'm worried about in that respect is that this breaks the use case of not having to be root to install to a --prefix I own as a user.

You can still do that. You just have to specify --with-perl-vendorlib=/my/own/prefix/share/perl5

We could also do some tricks comparing
vendorprefix with vendorlib and append the difference to
our 'prefix'.

My ubuntu 12.04 has

'vendorprefix' => '/usr',
'vendorlib' => '/usr/share/perl5',
'vendorarch' => '/usr/lib/perl5',

This could then result in default of ${prefix}/share/perl5 for vendorlib
and ${prefix}/lib/perl5 for vendorarch.

I'm not sure I really like it, but that could be possible...

Or we check if vendorprefix doesn't match our prefix and give an error
and enforce that --with-perl-vendorlib is explicitly specified.

Comment 20 Tom Schulz 2014-05-05 17:31:50 UTC
I believe that the fix for this bug is what is causing configure to blow up.

We have a site compiled Perl installed, built mostly with the default configuration.  From perl -V I get:

  @INC:
    /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/i86pc-solaris
    /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9
    /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.9/i86pc-solaris
    /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.9
    .

Configure dies with the following traceback:


Traceback (most recent call last):

and
--with-perl-vendorlib=/opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.9
to the configure command then configure works. This was previously not necessary. In any case, configure should not blow up in this manner.

Tom, can you test the patch here:

Comment 22 Tom Schulz 2014-05-06 17:33:27 UTC
The patched 4.1.7 configures, builds and installs without error.
It installs the perl stuff in prefix/lib/perl5
Previous versions of Samba installed the perl stuff in prefix/share/perl5
Comment 23 Tom Schulz 2014-05-06 23:37:08 UTC
I should add that if the perl module is installed in /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.9 (part of our @INC), configure does find it and outputs  the message:

Comment 32 Volker Lendecke 2014-07-11 08:58:54 UTC
Possibly unrelated, but current master's "make install" does not respect --prefix for pidl anymore. It always wants to install in system directories, although --prefix was given. This breaks non-root make install. Sure, you can make it install somewhere else with special configure options. But these options must default to something under --prefix.

Comment 34 Volker Lendecke 2014-07-18 11:06:02 UTC
Setting to critical. With this new policy, Samba ignores --prefix by default for pidl. This makes it impossible to run "make install" as non-root. Also it is impossible to install more than one independent Samba installation in independent subdirectories.

We have explicit --with-perl-lib-install-dir= and --with-perl-arch-install-dir=
as workarround. But we should fix this by comparing

INSTALL_FILES() should take a perl_fixup similar to python_fix in order
to inject an rpath to the installed binary. We could then
compare perl's vendorprefix with our prefix and only use the perl provided
default paths if they match.

If nobody finds the time to do it before the release of 4.2, I would vote to not install pidl at all in the default build.

This was working reasonably well when we were just invoking Makefile.PL from waf. Why did we move to using waf to install these files?

Please don't remove the installation of Pidl. We rely on it in the Debian packages.

possible patchset for v4-1-test

Patches for v4-1-test, cherry-picked from master.

This patchset is the complete story, including
the required fixes for the dependencies for SAMBA_GENERATOR.
It also moves all the changes for this defect to wafsamba
and restores wafadmin into the original state.

Note: In order to be able to cleanly pick the patches
I have picked four initial patches to docs/dynconfig
by Garming and Andrew.

Is this OK? Desirable? Undesirable?

Comments please ... Michael
