Proposed technical files

This are the technical files associated with

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/More_Go_packaging

which are proposed here for inclusion in go-srpm-macros

The proposal also depends on

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Forge-hosted_projects_packaging_automation

and

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1523779

The autorequires/autoprovides scripts need to be executable, restore permissions lost in rebasing

Handle compatibility via symlinks (not that compat is a good idea long-term)

Be a little more strict for fake symlinked import paths
Un-lua-ify go-compiler glue so it woks again

Patch to activate autodeps on old-style Go packages

Comment 6 Jakub Čajka 2017-12-19 08:41:02 UTC
Hello,
  as this seems as quiet significant change, would you mind submit it as pull request on https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/go-srpm-macros?

Could you also provide repository for testing this change? For example as COPR(http://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/) repository (with all necessary build root  changes included)?

Comment 7 Nicolas Mailhot 2017-12-19 09:36:26 UTC
Hi Jakub,

A lot of the work is done behind a corporate firewall, on a private git infra with private management rules, without ssh access to the internet and http filtering making pulling highly inconvenient

I'd rather you integrate the files in the go-srpm-macros Fedora public repo as they are, they are few and short, I'll find a way to commit or submit changes later. However I don't intend to change the files anymore, unless you have specific wishes, or optimization ideas

I'll try to setup a copr repo with package build examples (maybe not before january). Not sure how copr handles bootstraping however :) In the meanwhile I can provide an archive with a spec dump if you want. We have ~ 107 new-style specs and ~43 modified old-style specs (though those have lots of problems due to the approximations old-style packaging produced, and it's usually easier to redo them from scratch than investigate the problems. debundling is not finished yet)

Of course not everything is finished there are still some missing deps waiting for packaging, packages that need polishing, and loops to bootstrap.

Usual testing is to scratch sources and packages, re-spectool sources and mass rebuild everything in mock (requiring about 10 rebuild phases right now)

Examples of problems :
* old Fedora spec installs broken example code, which is picked up by auto-requires
* old Fedora spec declares manually requirements that do not match the current state of the shipped code
* old Fedora specs bundles code that need splitting to avoid poisoning the dep engine
* old Fedora tries to simulate import paths that were already legacy in 2014, and confuses itself and other packages
* old Fedora spec thinks it is working due to incomplete deps and requires, stict autodeps/autoreqs reveal holes in the dependency fabrik

Ok, could you post git am-able/apply-able patch for the fedora dist-git repository? I haven't tried PR in pagure myself yet, I believe you that they could be bit clunky/hard to understand.

You will have to bootstrap it all your self in simiallar fashion you have to do it in Fedora(although for that you mostly need RCM in Fedora space) or mock.
It would be cool to have repo(overriding, providing newer versions of the core macro packages) that could be used for rebuild testing of this change.

This bit makes me little bit worried, to be honest I have just looked on this change from 10000ft so it might be bit unwarranted.

I added a COPR here
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/nim/More_Go_Packaging/

That's just an effect of trying to rebuild every spec from scratch (rebuild everything, then re-rebuild everything that failed in the hope a necessary dep was built in the previous phase, continue till build does not progress, retry the same in bootstrap mode for failing builds, if no remaining bootstrap failure rebuild bootstrapped packages in full mode, then if not failure rebuild everything to make sure everything is build against the latest state)

It would be a lot less work if the current Fedora Go packageset was not so obsolete and incomplete.

The number of phases is an effect of the state of the repo, not an effect of the packaging proposal.

Patch to activate autodeps on old-style Go packages

This patch proved a bad idea as autodeps are too strict for the approximations in many existing old-style Go packages, and it's usually far easier and faster to rewrite them new-style than investigate what is broken in manual deps and shell code.
