Bug 29845 – gdb-5.3.90 fails to apply gdb-5_3-objc patch

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Brandy Westcott (RETIRED) 2003-09-28 17:25:02 UTC]

emerging gdb-5.3.90 with the objc USE flag set results in the following
error during src_unpack():


>>> Unpacking gdb-5_3-objc-patch.tgz to /var/tmp/portage/gdb-5.3.90/work
tar (child): /usr/portage/distfiles/gdb-5_3-objc-patch.tgz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

!!! ERROR: sys-devel/gdb-5.3.90 failed.
!!! Function unpack, Line 281, Exitcode 2
!!! failure unpacking gdb-5_3-objc-patch.tgz


This looks to be caused by a the ebuild only downloading the
gdb-5_3-objc patch if SNAPSHOT is *not* set:


if [ -n "${SNAPSHOT}" ]
then
	SRC_URI="mirror://gentoo/${P}-${SNAPSHOT}.tar.bz2
		mirror://gentoo/${P}-${SNAPSHOT}-patches-${PATCH_VER}.tar.bz2"
else
	SRC_URI="http://mirrors.rcn.net/pub/sourceware/gdb/releases/${P}.tar.bz2
		objc? ( ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/patches/gdb-5_3-objc-patch.tgz )"
fi


then the ebuild applies the patch only if SNAPSHOT *is* set:


	if [ -n "`use objc`" -a -n "${SNAPSHOT}" ]
	then
		cd ${WORKDIR}
		unpack gdb-5_3-objc-patch.tgz
		cd ${S}

		patch -p1 < ${WORKDIR}/gdb-5_3-objc-patch/gdb-5.3-objc-patch.diff || die
	.....

Its this patch:

  http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=18196&action=view

Only the hppa/sparc patches should have been applied - you can actually
remove the checks for $SNAPSHOT for the hppa/sparc patches.  Change the
test back to:

  if [ -n "`use objc`" -a -z "${SNAPSHOT}" ]

for objc however.  Thanks.

Azarah, 

Unfixed the objc line from the previous "fix" from bug #29390.

It now compiles for me with and without objc useflag.

Fixed by Jason.
