Bugzilla Bug 225589

media-libs/hamlib-1.2.6.1 is in the tree for 12 months now and works fine on
x86. 
It fixes the open bug 200597 which is valid only for 1.2.4 and 1.2.5.

Thanks.

Looks good to me (x86), no maintainer and (possibly) closes bug 2000597
mentioned in comment #0. Adding existing stable ARCHs to CC and I checked to
make sure all deps are stable on requested ARCHs.

Adding myself to CC as well.

darkside / or last arch / or anyone touching this bug last, please clean up old
versions and close QA bug 200597 after it. appericiated.

====amd64====

1. Compiles.
2. Installs, but the QA warnings are longer than my screen, which is ~130 lines
long ;-)
3. It's two dependencies seem to function properly.

I didn't see any QA warnings on x86. If you suggest fixes, we can get them in
there. ;)

The problems are all in hamlibpy_wrap.c.

The errors all look like this:

hamlibpy_wrap.c:3886: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break
strict-aliasing rules
hamlibpy_wrap.c:3908: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break
strict-aliasing rules
hamlibpy_wrap.c:12032: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break
strict-aliasing rules
hamlibpy_wrap.c:12084: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break

hamlibpy_wrap.c:12136: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break

hamlibpy_wrap.c:12188: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break

> strict-aliasing rules

Oh, compiler warnings? Perhaps a dev more senior than I can suggest the proper
way to take action (I always ignore them on my desktops =/ )

hamlibpy_wrap.c gets autogenerated by SWIG

Do you see the same warnings with 1.2.4? If it's not a regression, this bug
ain't the right place.

Do you see the same warnings with 1.2.7.1? If the new version works better, we
can 
jump straight into it.

Either way, they are warnings, and this is a maintainer-needed package. Contact
upstream, if any.

Discussion on SWIG mailing list and SWIG documentation states that the problem
comes from the -fstrict-aliasing handling in new GCC's. It should be fixed by
compiling the SWIG generated wrappers with -fno-strict-aliasing. 

Contacted upstream yesterday with a patch.

In 1.2.7.1 the problem still exists.

Since the alpha team lacks the requisite hardware, we've pushed all stable
versions of hamlib and its only keyworded dep (media-radio/tlf) back to ~alpha.
I realize that hamlib is the sine qua non for HAM people, but we have
absolutely no way of testing it. If you want it in alpha and have the hardware,
feel free to volunteer as a tester. :)

If no-one complains in 30 days (or so), we'll consider dropping the keyword
entirely.

While I can not comment if that ebuild is relevant for alpha users I would like
to give some comments on usage and testing.

The package is used in addition to the mentioned media-radio/tlf also optional
by media-radio/xdx and by at least 3 further ebuilds in sunrise.

Testing a library for control of ham radio equipment without that equipment can
only be done partially. Hamlib supports around 200 different ham radio
receivers and tranceivers (concentrated in around 20 backend libraries). So
testing is also difficult for the upstream crew.

To overcome some of that problems there is a dummy backend, which simulates a
real radio and is used by all programms 'by default'. Test of the frontend lib
and the dummy backend can be done by the 'rigctl' program without any
additional parameters.

For further infos have a look at the provided files in /usr/share/doc/hamlib... 
and the rigctl man page.

x86 stable, no hardware but all rdeps still build

amd64 marked stable, proxy for gentoofan23. comment #3

Last arch, close bug.
