Bug 115242 – stabilize media-libs/plotutils-2.4.1-r4 (<=2.4.1-r3 uses replace-cpu-flags incorrectly)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Cory Visi (RETIRED) 2005-12-11 15:13:17 UTC]

Problem exists only in plotutils-2.4.1-r3.ebuild.
It only affects k6, k6-2, and k6-3 users.

It appeared when someone converted a bunch of sed statements to replace-cpu-flags.
It could have also been caused by a syntax change to replace-cpu-flags, but I'm not sure.
This bug could make Bug #14488 come back.

Patch is attached.

Created attachment 74535 [details, diff]
plotutils-2.4.1-r3.ebuild.patch

Patch to fix use of replace-cpu-flags.

[Comment 2 Cory Visi (RETIRED) 2005-12-11 15:21:12 UTC]

Looking back at Bug 14488, I'm wondering if the original cause for the problem was related to 
this GCC bug:

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20653

Bug 14488 was reported in 2003, but it still could have been a GCC bug at that point, just an 
unreported one.

I'm CC'ing Mark on this now, because perhaps this is enough motivation to backport the GCC 
team's fix.  Is it?  Let me know.

*** Bug 115241 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

[Comment 4 Mark Loeser (RETIRED) 2005-12-11 16:32:34 UTC]

I can't reproduce that error on gcc-3.4.4-r1 with CFLAGS="-O2 -march=k6-2
-mcpu=k6-2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ftracer".  Yea, I commented out the
replace-cpu-flags too :)  Doesn't look too difficult to backport that patch, but
I'd rather not do it if we don't have to.

[Comment 5 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) 2006-01-14 16:31:07 UTC]

Feel free to commit whatever is needed to fix it.

[Comment 6 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) 2006-01-19 12:52:21 UTC]

please fix this yourself or close it if you are no longer interested

[Comment 7 Cory Visi (RETIRED) 2006-05-25 06:13:18 UTC]

I committed the patch for now as an unstable r4 version.  Next step is to get it marked stable on all archs, which I'll handle after a couple days to watch for fallout.

[Comment 8 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-12-03 16:51:57 UTC]

@printing - can we stabilize -r4? 

[Comment 9 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2007-03-11 15:58:20 UTC]

CCing arches, pretty stale one... :Please stabilize media-libs/plotutils-2.4.1-r4

 Same on x86

[Comment 12 Matthias Langer 2007-03-13 02:50:49 UTC]

on x86:

> > FAIL: plot2ps.test

the same here with plotutils-2.4.1-r4  USE="X". that said,

sci-visualization/gnuplot-4.0-r1  USE="... plotutils ..."

seems to work as it did before with the new plotutils revision.

[Comment 13 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) 2007-03-13 06:58:50 UTC]

I corrected the test suite.  The two files to be compared had a differing comment which caused the failure.  x86 stable

[Comment 14 Gustavo Zacarias (RETIRED) 2007-03-13 14:20:38 UTC]

sparc stable.

[Comment 15 nixnut (RETIRED) 2007-03-16 19:09:40 UTC]

[Comment 19 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) 2007-04-07 18:32:41 UTC]

ppc-macos degraded the old version to ~arch instead, it should go to prefix anyway

[Comment 20 Fabian Groffen 2007-04-07 21:08:35 UTC]

ppc-macos moved to prefix

[Comment 21 Jose Luis Rivero (yoswink) (RETIRED) 2007-06-14 11:09:01 UTC]

alpha stable
