After the installation of dev-lang/swift-5.10.1-r3 (the first version installed), I would have expected that the swift and swiftc executables to be automatically selected by "eselect swift set #" which isn't currently the case. Since no Swift version is selected, it can't be called as "swift" and "swiftc". Swift 6 is still not installed.
dev-lang/swift-5.10.1-r3 _should_ have called `eselect swift update` here: > pkg_postinst() { > # If we're installing the latest version of Swift, then update symlinks to > # it. (We don't want to call `eselect swift update` unconditionally in case > # we're installing an older version of Swift, and the user has intentionally > # selected a version other than the latest.) > if ! has_version ">${CATEGORY}/${P}"; then > eselect swift update > fi > } If you unset any Swift version via eselect and run `eselect swift update` manually, does it correctly set a version?
Yes. It seems like it does. tux ~ # eselect swift list Available Swift versions: [1] swift-5.10.1 * tux ~ # eselect swift unset tux ~ # eselect swift list Available Swift versions: [1] swift-5.10.1 tux ~ # eselect swift update tux ~ # eselect swift list Available Swift versions: [1] swift-5.10.1 *
Thanks for double-checking! It seems like something may have tripped up the condition, then? Not sure how, but I'll see if I can manage to repro. (I've extensively tested first-time installs in clean environments and haven't seen this happen, but I'll see what I can find out.)
It happened on the two computers I tested it on. First on the laptop from 2020, and then on the tower from 2010-12.
I was able to reproduce this myself now in a container. Will try to track down the failure.
