Bugzilla Bug 42784

When emerging the samba package the sub program rpctorture does not correctly
build. This does not crash the emerge but just omites the program from the
emerge.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge samba
2. watch for error message marked with yellow *

Actual Results:  
the error message...
---
torture/rpctorture.c: In function `main':
torture/rpctorture.c:233: error: storage size of `cli_info' isn't known
torture/rpctorture.c:373: error: `scope' undeclared (first use in this
function)
torture/rpctorture.c:373: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only
once
torture/rpctorture.c:373: error: for each function it appears in.)
torture/rpctorture.c:531: warning: passing arg 5 of `create_procs' from
incompatible pointer type
torture/rpctorture.c:535: warning: passing arg 5 of `create_procs' from
incompatible pointer type
make: *** [torture/rpctorture.o] Error 1
 * rpctorture didnt build
---
is printed.

Expected Results:  
properly build rpctorture and not print the error message.

Yeah, I know.  I wrote the ebuild.

I used yellow because it is not very important.

Why are you reporting this as a bug on bugs.gentoo.org?

This is not our bug.

Bye.

what he's trying to say is please bug the samba team about the program not
compiling correctly ... it's been like this for some time

*** Bug 66032 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Now reported to the Samba team via their Bugzilla. Their ref #2163.

Just for completeness, the response received from Volker Lendecke (one of the
Samba team) was:

-----BEGIN QUOTE-----

rpctorture is not supported in any way. If you need similar functionality look
at samba4 smbtorture.

-----END QUOTE-----

Well good ridens to that buggy code.

Any chance we can disable compiling of this then since I need to patch samba
for
some things and cannot ebuild compile since it stops there ? 

Thanks :) 

Nevermind.. seems the compile is actually done and I can install and qmerge
afterwards :) 

net-fs/samba-3.0.14a-r2 still has a broken rpctorture and does not build or
install the rpctorture util.
