Bugzilla Bug 252350

Hello arches,

Please stabilize the following packages (see migration concern note below first
for a possible better timing of stabilization):

dev-libs/libgamin-0.1.10
app-admin/gamin-0.1.10
app-admin/gam-server-0.1.10

This splits app-admin/gamin into three mentioned packages (of which
app-admin/gamin remains as a meta package for ease of migration for now).
This solves the awful long-standing bug 217861 for stable tree fresh installers
finally.


Note that you might need portage-2.1.6 for an easy migration for the split
ebuilds. If you for some reason believe it is better to wait out for that
automatic blocker resolution in portage-2.1.6, you can wait up until Zac thinks
portage-2.1.6 is good to go, but it might be worth doing it before, given the
long issue it has caused for stable tree fresh installs (requiring manual
interaction out of the box on desktop profiles). Then again, I understand
portage-2.1.6 is ready very soon now, according to old ETAs I know about.

I'm not 100% sure portage-2.1.6 was necessary to auto-solve the migration to
split, but I think so... you can see easily if using stable portage and
wrangling this. If it works fine without, there's nothing to worry about of
course

Just to make sure I didn't give the wrong impression with "this splits
app-admin/gamin" -- it does that from gentoo side, and has of course upstream
fixes between 0.1.9 to 0.1.10 too. Most of these patches are for the build
system to support this kind of split-up at source build level (contributed by
us, Remi specifically I think), but there were also other bug fixes, one I
remember fixing something Ubuntu was hitting really hard.

bah, not Ubuntu but something also much used - upstream jhbuild smoke-testing
perhaps

Zac says he plans this weekend for portage-2.1.6, so I think it's worth the
wait unless it gets delayed. (waiting portage-2.1.6 stablization OK to do it
before gamin)

Apparently portage-2.1.6 stabilization is progressing now, so this can be now
stabilized after portage :)

Given that portage-2.1.6 isn't going to be stable for at least another 4 weeks
(2.1.6.4 in tree 27-Dec-2008 is the only 2.1.6 version in tree.  Gentoo policy
implies earliest date for stablisation is 26-Jan-2009) shouldn't this
stabilisation go ahead now, rather than wait another month and leave the
circular dependency in the stable tree for the same period?

sparc stable

The 30-days wait period is a guideline not a strict rule. Arch teams my decide
to stablize a package earlier. This mostly applies for security issues but
other reasons, such as the need for the blocker-solving feature are also valid. 

In fact amd64 and sparc allready have portage-2.1.6.4 stable :)

amd64/x86 stable

Check this out, any idea what's wrong?

[ebuild  N    ] dev-libs/libgamin-0.1.10  USE="python -debug" 
[ebuild  N    ] app-admin/gam-server-0.1.10  USE="-debug" 
[ebuild     U ] app-admin/gamin-0.1.10 [0.1.9-r1]
[blocks b     ] <app-admin/gamin-0.1.10 ("<app-admin/gamin-0.1.10" is blocking
app-admin/gam-server-0.1.10, dev-libs/libgamin-0.1.10)

Forgot to mention, that's amd64 with portage-2.1.6.4. Tell me if you need the
emerge info, too.

Sven: packages cannot be listed in the world file in order to be upgraded
automatically

ppc and ppc64 done

The list is this actually:

dev-libs/libgamin-0.1.10-r1
app-admin/gamin-0.1.10
app-admin/gam-server-0.1.10

Re-CCing sparc/x86/amd64 for dev-libs/libgamin-0.1.10-r1.
You should have seen wrong python *.pyc and *.pyo handling during your arch
testing with libgamin-0.1.10...

There's something a bit wrong with the "stable" gamin.
I've just tried to update app-admin/gamin from 0.1.9-r1 to 0.1.10.
emerge -p gives

029692 [ebuild  N    ] dev-libs/libgamin-0.1.10  USE="python -debug" 
029693 [ebuild  N    ] app-admin/gam-server-0.1.10  USE="-debug" 
029694 [ebuild     U ] app-admin/gamin-0.1.10 [0.1.9-r1]
029695 [blocks b     ] <app-admin/gamin-0.1.10 ("<app-admin/gamin-0.1.10" is
blocking app-admin/gam-server-0.1.10, dev-libs/libgamin-0.1.10)

I pressed on, hoping portage (2.2) could sort the mess out.  It failed:

* package dev-libs/libgamin-0.1.10 NOT merged
030893  * 
030894  * Detected file collision(s):

030900  * 
030901  * Press Ctrl-C to Stop

030903  * None of the installed packages claim the file(s).

I love these "file collision detected" with "no packages claim the files"
issues :-(
I suspect there's something a bit circular going on in the specified
dependencies - to whit
app-admin/gamin-0.1.10
  >=dev-libs/libgamin-0.1.10
but
dev-libs/libgamin-0.1.10
  !<app-admin/gamin-0.1.10
My guess is that unmerging all the gamin bits and starting again would cure it,
but it's too late for me to be confident, and I don't want to break my machine
tomorrow!

(In reply to comment #13)
Sorry, I realize today that all I did was duplicate comments #8 and #12, using
portage 2.2.

Going to ~x86 on dev-libs/libgamin fixes the collision by using 0.1.10-r1, and
the block resolves automatically, like it should.

It's funny, but what to do? Fixing ebuild by self?

Sorry, my misstake )))
It's ok by deleting by_hand gamin-0.1.9-r1

Contrary to what was expressed above, neither portage 2.1.6.4 nor keywording
dev-libs/libgamin ~x86 helps. app-admin/gamin still blocks dev-libs/libgamin
and app-admin/gamserver.

The only way forward was with this command:
emerge -C app-admin/gamin && emerge app-admin/gamin && emerge -kuDN world
