Bugzilla Bug 188194

i'd like to switch the jam build-system implementation in Gentoo from jam to
ftjam as the latter has an actual upstream that, like, puts out releases and
fixes bugs and stuff.

first step on this mission is to get ftjam keyworded on the same archs that jam
is.  that's where you come in...

nothing in the tree DEPENDs on ftjam yet, but you should be able to build
anything that currently DEPENDs on jam by emerging it's dependencies, ftjam,
and then emerge --nodeps <pkg> (jam blocks ftjam).  candidates include:

games-engines/gargoyle-20060917-r1
games-simulation/lincity-ng-1.1.0
dev-games/crystalspace-1.0.1 (might want to USE="-wxwindows" for this one to
avoid that awful wxGTK junk)

thanks in advance.

According to [1], only the following packages depend on dev-util/jam:

=dev-games/cel-0.98.2
=dev-games/cel-1.0.1
=dev-games/crystalspace-0.98.4
=dev-games/crystalspace-1.0.1
=games-engines/gargoyle-20060917-r1
=games-simulation/lincity-ng-1.1.0
=games-sports/trigger-0.5.2.1
=games-strategy/glest-2.0.0-r1
=games-strategy/netpanzer-0.8.1

None of these are keyworded for HPPA. The ~hppa was added at [2].

"[1]" should have been [1]. Sorry for the confusion.

games-strategy/netpanzer-0.8.1 is keyworded sparc, and it does have a DEPEND on
dev-util/jam.  Hence, no sparc keyword.

That said, I did verify that dev-util/ftjam works fine on sparc as follows:
1) Locally keyworded lincity-ng as ~sparc;
2) Changed the ebuild from the DEPEND= ... dev-util/jam to
   || ( dev-util/ftjam dev-util/jam )
3) Built lincity-ng (which should work on sparc, but fails)
4) Same || trick for netpanzer; it builds fine.

So, I'm removing the sparc CC; please re-add after the DEPEND=dev-util/jam
packages are fixed; I'll then keyword ftjam for you, because it itself seems
fine, but installing it breaks other packages.

Right, I didn't think of that.  I'll put this bug on hold until I can get the
games team to change their DEPENDs.

For lincity-ng, is the error you're getting caused by ftjam or is it some other
unrelated reason (ie. does it work if you use jam)?  If it's the former can you
send me a log?

for the games ones, if you test it and it builds, feel free to modify for us

lincity-ng was not a build failure as I recall, but something at runtime.  I'll
rebuild and investigate.  (Failure not related to ftjam as I recall.)

Whatever it was, lincity-ng-1.1.2 builds and runs on sparc, so I have keyworded
it ~sparc and changed the DEPEND to allow for either ftjam or jam.  I have also
allowed ftjam for netpanzer (as per Comment #5).  As far as I can tell, that
fixes things up for ftjam on sparc, so I have added ~sparc keyword as
requested.

okay, ftjam has now been added to everything that needs it:

dev-games/cel-1.0.1
dev-games/cel-1.2
dev-games/crystalspace-1.0.1
dev-games/crystalspace-1.2
games-engines/gargoyle-20060917-r1
games-simulation/lincity-ng-1.1.0
games-simulation/lincity-ng-1.1.1
games-simulation/lincity-ng-1.1.2
games-sports/trigger-0.5.2.1
games-strategy/glest-2.0.1
games-strategy/netpanzer-0.8.1
games-strategy/netpanzer-0.8.2


target is hppa (if you want), ppc, ppc64, and ppc-macos. (i did amd64)

thanks guys

Removing hppa from CC as hppa doesn't need jam or ftjam.

Added ~ppc64 to the following packages:

dev-util/ftjam-2.5.3_rc2

the other packages are not keyworded and I'll test/add keywords when a user
requests so.

dropped ppc-macos keyword from jam, added ftjam to prefix.

~ppc'd. closing since we're last
