Bug 919703

1)Source0 URL is unreachable;

2)Summary is not good, try this:

"Summary:	A C library version of the GAP kernel"

3)Is there any doc for devel package?

4)In %install section I often use this:

find %{buildroot} -name '*.la' -exec rm -f {} ';'

Adding Volker Braun (libgap author) and Jerry James (gap Fedora maintainer)
to CC. Actually, I was expecting them to maintain it when I found that
it would require coordinating with the gap package (but I can try work
on it again shortly also).

About missing tarball, upstream is now the sagemath spkg:
https://bitbucket.org/vbraun/libgap/issue/1/please-make-tarball-downloads-available

Currently I have two patches in the sagemath package, one, default,
to disable libgap:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/sagemath.git/tree/sagemath-nolibgap.patch
and another to "correct" build/runtime with libgap:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/sagemath.git/tree/sagemath-libgap.patch

Sorry, Real Life has been extremely busy lately, leaving me little time to work on all of my unfinished Fedora projects.

Issues, in no particular order:
1. This package mimics GAP itself by using a configure script that assumes
   that sigsetjmp() is a function.  Since it is a macro, the configure test
   fails.  A variation on the sed expression I used for GAP fixes this
   problem, although you may prefer a patch.  Better yet would be to get the
   two upstreams to fix their configure scripts.

   sed -i '/sigsetjmp/,/_ACEOF/s/^ac_fn_c_check_func.*/if [ $ac_func = sigsetjmp ]; then\nac_fn_c_check_func "$LINENO" "__sigsetjmp" "$as_ac_var";\nelse\n&\nfi/' -i src/configure

2. I supply a value for SYS_DEFAULT_PATHS for GAP.  Would that be appropriate
   here, too?  (Grep for SYS_DEFAULT_PATHS in the libgap sources.)  If so, you
   perhaps want to pass -DSYS_DEFAULT_PATHS=%{_gap_dir}.

3. I also see lots of code guarded by #if HAVE_LIBREADLINE, but no configure
   test for readline.  Should this package BR libreadline-devel and pass
   -DHAVE_LIBREADLINE to the compiler?

4. Upstream needs to add #include <stdio.h> to libgap.c and error_handler.c:

libgap.c: In function 'libgap_call_error_handler':
libgap.c:156:5: warning: implicit declaration of function 'printf' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
libgap.c:156:5: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'printf' [enabled by default]

error_handler.c: In function 'handler':
error_handler.c:8:3: warning: implicit declaration of function 'printf' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
error_handler.c:8:3: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'printf' [enabled by default]

5. This happens because LIBGAP_SIGNALS is not defined:

sysfiles.c:3268:39: warning: 'func2' is used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]
sysfiles.c:3249:27: note: 'func2' was declared here

6. Some tests are failing with a segfault, but since the test program returns
   0 in every case, %check doesn't notice.  Can you find some way of causing
   %check to fail if some of the tests fail?

make[2]: Entering directory `/builddir/build/BUILD/libgap-4.5.7/src/test'
--------------------
Input: 1 + CyclicGroup(2);

 fi;

signal caught

7. There is 1 download on the libGAP web page, "libGAP (2).pdf", which
   contains a slideshow about libGAP.  Is that worth including as %doc?

8. The actual license covering this project is in doubt.  It includes a
   COPYING file that contains the text of the GPLv3, but there is no statement
   anywhere in the code or on the web site that identifies that license, at
   least not that I have been able to find.  The project incorporates code
   from GAP, which is GPLv2+.  According to the "GNU General Public License
   (no version)" entry in this table:

   https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main?rd=Licensing#Good_Licenses

   the lack of a statement means that the project is covered by any version of
   the GPL.  However, since it incorporates known GPLv2+ code, I think the
   correct license for this project is also GPLv2+.  Upstream should clarify
   this.

9. This package is for version 4.5.7, which is needed for Fedora 18.  However,
   for F-19 and later, a version that supports GAP 4.6 is needed.  On 25 Apr
   2013, a commit was made upstream to support gap 4.6.3.

10. The package summary should not repeat the name of the package.  In this
    case, I suggest "C library version of the GAP kernel".  If you change it,
    be sure to update the name of the bug also.

11. The undefined non-weak symbols reported at the end of this report show
    that the library needs to be linked with -lm.  This can be accomplished
    like this:

    %configure --enable-shared --disable-static LIBS="-lm"

12. The unused direct shlib dependency on libgmp reported at the end shows
    another problem: GMP is detected, but not actually used.  I think you need
    to add -DUSE_GMP to CFLAGS for that to happen.  This smells like an
    upstream bug to me, but upstream may differ. :-)

Thanks for the review! I'll try to answer the issues that concern me as libgap upstream:

1. I have raised the sigsetjmp configure test issue with upstream
   (http://tracker.gap-system.org/issues/406, requires login)

2. Concerns the libGAP rpm only

3. LibGAP doesn't need readline (there is no command prompt in the
   library version)

4. Fixed

5. Fixed

6. I fixed the tests, should not segfault any more

7. The slides are a bit out of date now, I'll try to write some actual
   documentation since the whole design has now settled.

8. Both GPLv2+ and v3+ are fine with me. For simplicity I'll go with
   the same as GAP, so that is v2+ right now.

9. I made an update for gap-4.6.4 at 
   http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/vbraun/spkg/libgap-4.6.4.p0.spkg 

10. Concerns the libGAP rpm only

11. Fixed (I added -lm to libgap_la_LDFLAGS)

12. Currently LibGAP is using GAP's own (old) software integer
    implementation. I'll switch libGAP to GMP eventually, but its not
    finished yet (=segfaults).

Now the GAP symbol prefixing is done in the dist-hook. In particular its now easy to make tarballs available, and the current one is

http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/vbraun/spkg/libgap-4.6.4.tar.gz

I also changed the tests to use SYS_DEFAULT_PATHS for the GAP root
directory, if available. So you shouldn't have to patch the tests any more.

News?

Sorry for the delay. Real life, job, personal projects, etc :-)
I just did look at it again as I would need to add an
even uglier patch to disable libgap in sagemath 5.11.

Now it apparently needs to be updated again to match gap in rawhide:

$ rpm -q gap
gap-4.6.5-1.fc20.x86_64

Running the test cases I see:

  I still think it would be better if Jerry and Volker maintained the package.
Perfect solution probably would be to have it integrated in upstream gap...

So, the error should be in frame #92454

I do not understand the code, only extra help I can give on a first look
is that at the point of failure I see this as the starting point to debug,
and should be trivial for the code author :-)

Hmm works for me in a standalone build. Where can I get your current spec file?

Sorry for not uploading it earlier.

Spec: http://pcpa.fedorapeople.org/libgap.spec
Srpm: http://pcpa.fedorapeople.org/libgap-4.6.5-1.fc21.src.rpm

It should be

BuildRequires:	gap-libs

which is used by the testsuite. The gap-devel rpm is not used.

Also, CFLAGS should be a configure argument... my fault, should be documented better. This is what caused the segfault, since the testsuite wasn't pointed at the gap install.

I also added %doc README, that the main source of information...

Created attachment 808275 [details]
Fixed spec file.

Many thanks. I change to use CFLAGS as an environment
variable, and added gap-libs to build requires. gap-devel
is required due to having it defining the rpm macro(s).

Scratch build fails on arm:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=6028254

So, I made it exclusivearch x86 for now.
In case build log is lost, the failure is:

Jerry, you may want to comment on it now :-)
libgap is not optional to package sagemath 5.11.

Spec URL: http://pcpa.fedorapeople.org/libgap.spec
SRPM URL: http://pcpa.fedorapeople.org/libgap-4.6.5-1.fc21.src.rpm

I'm not surprised that there is trouble on arm... I don't have an arm machine to test on. I'll see if I can get a koji scratch build working.

It's trying to print the value of the ebp register, which only exists on x86.  I don't see why that is even necessary.  It doesn't seem to be checked or used in any way.  Perhaps print_stack_start() could be made conditional on x86 platforms, something like this:

#if defined(__i686__) || defined(__x86_64__)
void print_stack_start()
{
...
}
#else
void print stack_start()
{
  int i;
  printf("&i = %p\n", &i);
  printf("frame addres = %p\n", __builtin_frame_address(0));
}
#endif

I will comment more on the current spec file in a couple of hours.

The comments below apply to the spec file from comment 13.

According to comment 4, gmp is not used at the moment.  However, it is being linked in.  A new run of fedora-review reports only one error:

libgap.x86_64: W: unused-direct-shlib-dependency /usr/lib64/libgap.so.0.0.0 /lib64/libgmp.so.10

Can we prevent linking libgap against libgmp until such time as that makes sense?

All of the other issues I raised have been fixed, so if we can just fix this one and the problem with the x86-specific test, we're ready to go.

This should address the issues. Scratch build:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=6037201

- Only run x86 specific asm code on x86 (#919703#c17)
- Do not link to gmp as gmp interface is disabled (#919703#c17)

Spec URL: http://pcpa.fedorapeople.org/libgap.spec
SRPM URL: http://pcpa.fedorapeople.org/libgap-4.6.5-3.fc21.src.rpm

The GAP garbage collector searches through the stack, so thats where it comes from. But at least for gcc the default is via __builtin_frame_address, which also works on arm. The x86 asm in test/shell.c is just leftover from debugging in the testsuite and can be removed.

Okay, this is acceptable.  This package is APPROVED.

Paulo, I will apply to be comaintainer so I can build and push gap and libgap updates at the same time.  I agree that the best solution would be for upstream gap to absorb libgap, though.

Thanks! At first I do not want to backport sagemath 5.11 to
f19 or earlier, but it should not be too difficult for f20.
