moarvm.patch

The build for dev-lang/moarvm doesn't reflect the options provided by its build "system". It also links against locally compiled 3rd party libs. The whole thing doesn't seem to have seen any actual updates since 09/2014.

Note: This fixes bug 580728.
Note: This breaks compilation of rakudo.

Your patch is touching a bunch of unrelated ebuilds.

    dev-lang/rakudo: revbump to 2016.03-r1

    make rakudo compile for MoarVM with some ugly hacks.
    and I do mean ugly.
    goddammit upstream, get your shit in order!

    Package-Manager: portage-2.2.28

Note: building with java backend fails. but rakudo with moar backend works just fine.

These 4 files bump rakudo and its deps to 2016.04. They include numerous fixes, enhancements etc. Please test.

I'd like to commit those within a week.

Personally, I don't find embedding these statements of emotional engagement immortally in a source repository something we should be encouraging.

[Comment 10 M. B. 2016-04-26 14:54:43 UTC]

Indeed it's not got any place there. I never meant it to be published, in particular since upstream is quite accomodating regarding patches.

Also, it needs further tweaking since the patches fail upstream's Travis CI.

These are my summarized changes.
For it to apply, you might need to remove the bottom-most patch, since it affects profiles/base/package.use.mask.

Patches have been submitted upstream and are pending review.

This includes updates for the 9999 ebuilds

[Comment 13 Patrick Lauer 2016-05-02 14:57:46 UTC]

Since the java bits plain don't work I've ignored that part.

The rest, I've mostly ignored too ;)

As I mentioned on IRC, I've put too much work on this patchset to have it discarded like this. Also given the amount of bugs that would be fixed with this update, this bug is far from fixed.

This update fixes the following bugs:
bug 504710
bug 504718
bug 510706
bug 576284

The java bits do work. I've made the combination of previously installed rakudo and java fatal. (Possibly related to bug 510706).

I can work on it further, if you provide me with a build.log of all three. Just post them here or send them to my mail.

If you need me to, I can provide patches for one patch per file/commit for better review.

$ perl6-j --version
This is Rakudo version 2016.04 built on JVM
implementing Perl 6.c.
tboy@hatshepsut /usr/portage/dev-lang/rakudo $ perl6-j -e 'say <<ok>>'
ok

[Comment 16 M. B. 2016-05-08 10:48:05 UTC]

The patch for MoarVM got accepted upstream -> not needed in 9999 and 2016.05+.

New patch to apply cleanly.

[Comment 18 Patrick Lauer 2016-05-09 08:03:39 UTC]

should be fixed by the current 2016.04-r1 ebuild
