I often use live ebuild, without any problem, but i don't seem to manage to install the live llvm ebuild. It might be because of svn, as i think this is the first live ebuild i try to install that is based on svn. Others are usually using git/hg. Using : system : ~amd64 up to date dev-vcs/subversion : 1.7.7 portage : 2.1.11.38 Reproducible: Always * Package: sys-devel/llvm-9999 * Repository: gentoo * Maintainer: voyageur@gentoo.org mgorny@gentoo.org * USE: amd64 elibc_glibc kernel_linux libffi userland_GNU vim-syntax * FEATURES: sandbox userpriv * subversion check out start --> * repository: http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk svn: E200033: database is locked, executing statement 'PRAGMA synchronous=OFF;PRAGMA recursive_triggers=ON;' * ERROR: sys-devel/llvm-9999 failed (unpack phase): * subversion: can't fetch to /var/portage/distfiles/svn-src/llvm/trunk from http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk. * * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 93: Called src_unpack * environment, line 5157: Called subversion_src_unpack * environment, line 5474: Called subversion_fetch * environment, line 5369: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * ${ESVN_FETCH_CMD} ${options} "${repo_uri}" || die "${ESVN}: can't fetch to ${wc_path} from ${repo_uri}."; *
Ok, here's an information that i think is rather important : my distfiles is mounted through nfs (v3), it is shared by all computers on the local network. if i unmount it, making portage use a the local disk instead, then it works. So i guess the bug is now something around "svn live ebuild fail to checkout on nfs-mounted distfiles"
Maybe you don't have locking properly configured for your nfs mount? Someone reported that enabling the nfslock service solved a similar problem here: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/subversion-dev/201302.mbox/%3C20130221134631.GW27780@ted.stsp.name%3E
@zac Good hint! Lock was configured and i thought it was working. using the very useful python code from http://naf-lhcb.physi.uni-heidelberg.de/index.php?q=node/52 i can confirm locking was broken on my setup. Once fixed (on the server, i had ALL:ALL in hosts.deny, which requires ALL:localhost in hosts.allow, even though all nfs/lock stuff was already allowed), the previous python code does work, and i can indeed emerge svn-based live ebuild from nfs. As such, i close this bug as invalid, this is not gentoo's fault :) Thanks again for the hint.
