Description zlg (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-11-08 05:34:34 UTC
media-sound/ncmpcpp-0.7_beta1 is failing during compile, complaining about two 
things:

* postfix_increment_proxs not a class template
* writable_postfix_increment_proxy is not a class template

recipe for target 'comparators.o' failedo

Attempted to build with MAKEOPTS="-j1" just in case it was a multitasking 
problem. Still broken.

Relevant info will be attached.

Could you please stop the noise. Thanks.
Comment 9 Oleh 2015-11-08 07:52:34 UTC
Could you please, behave, you're a ebuild maintainer, who added a broken version.
Comment 10 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-11-08 09:04:29 UTC
OK, so you can't stop. Good to know.
Comment 11 Oleh 2015-11-08 09:20:22 UTC
i can stop, obviously, when ebuild bump is rationalized and dev flow is consistent and checked for a build failures. You're no one to tell me to stop making noise because of *your* flawed ebuilds. 0.7* version needs boost-1.58 or higher, which is masked but your narrow mind can not handle this, because you trying to find an excuse behind screwed versions you committing to tree.

Could you please stop insulting me?

0.7_beta1 builds and works fine with boost 1.56.0. Only 1.57.0 is bad and the referenced boost bug report acknowledges that.
Comment 13 Oleh 2015-11-08 09:36:09 UTC
i can stop. it was you, who started the high tone about stopping making noise. This always returns similar response in infinite power.
Comment 14 Oleh 2015-11-08 09:40:57 UTC
|| ( >=boost-1.58 <boost-1.57 ) dependency could be applied to 0.7* ebuilds, however this would need unnecessary rebuilds due to boost downgrade. mask is just a lesser evil.

So will masking dev-libs/boost-1.57.0 fix ncmpcpp building, or should I mask media-sound/ncmpcpp-0.7_beta1?

I have no clue what's going on wrt the conflict, but I appreciate your attention on this bug.

FWIW, I figured it's a version-specific boost bug so masked =dev-libs/boost-1.57.0 here.  It only triggered the boost-build and boost downgrades, no further rebuilds.  Whether there's packages that should have their boost dep subslotted and don't, thus triggering hidden breakage with the boost downgrade, I don't know, but so far, so good. =:^)  If I don't reply further, take that as indication it didn't noticeably break anything.
Comment 17 Duncan 2015-11-17 23:37:35 UTC
No guarantee for people with different packages installed, but no problems with the boost downgrade here, no huge set of rebuilds and nothing seemed to break, so masking the problematic boost was apparently the correct decision for me.

Tho we are talking an ncmpcpp beta, so some may prefer to downgrade it, particularly if like me, you have other mpd clients installed, making ncmpcpp a very minor package compared to others that depend on boost.
Comment 18 zlg (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-12-07 10:27:51 UTC
I'm not so sure this bug is fixed. The ebuild has `!=dev-libs/boost-1.57.0`, which some packages in tree depend on, so I'm getting a block:

------------

Technically this could just be the fault of other ebuilds, but it's still somewhat of a problem. I can't update my system now unless I fiddle with ncmpcpp's ebuild.

If I'm reading your deps-list correctly, nothing actually deps on boost-1.57 at build-time yet.  You have some installed packages that sub-slot-dep on it, but only because they were built against it and they runtime slot-dep against what they were built with.  If you rebuild all of them (anything with :0/1.57.0= as a listed slot-dep) at the same time as the boost downgrade, you should be able to satisfy the blocker, as at that point you'll be rebuilding them so currently installed runtime slot-deps won't matter.

But, you'll need to rebuild *all* of them at the same time as the attempted boost downgrade.  (As I commented above, I didn't have a whole list here to downgrade at the same time, but that's evidently because I have different packages installed than you do.)  If you miss one with that :0/1.57.0= slot-dep, the blocker will remain unsatisfied, as the remaining installed runtime slot-dep will continue to lock 1.57.0 in place.

The alternative to downgrading boost and rebuilding all its runtime slotdeps at the same time, of course, would be to mask the ebuild with !=dev-libs/boost-1.57.0, allowing just that one package (ncmpcpp) to downgrade to a version that doesn't block the installed version of boost.

So while it's boost that has the temporary incompatibility and thus boost that's technically at fault, thus my choice to downgrade it here as it didn't force a bunch of other rebuilds at the same time for me, given that you have a bunch of other runtime slot-deps that will need rebuilt at the same time if you downgrade boost, while that might technically be the best choice, the far simpler choice, for you, would be masking ncmpcpp-0.7* and letting it, as only the one single package, downgrade (or not try to upgrade) to something compatible with the boost you already have installed.  It's arguably not the technically best solution, but it's the most convenient /workable/ solution for you, given the other boost-runtime-subslot-depending-packages you have installed, already runtime-subslot-depending on the 1.57.0 boost.

> runtime-subslot-depending on the 1.57.0 boost.

Thanks for the write-up. I fiddled with it last night. I had never masked boost-1.57.0 in the first place; just ncmpcpp-0.7_beta1, which seems to have been removed from the tree and 0.7 now has '!=dev-libs/boost-1.57.0'.

Masking ncmpcpp-0.7* seems to have fixed this blocker for now. This feels like a stopgap solution until something else comes down the pike; do you think a boost upgrade -- when it comes around -- could fix a lot of this? ncmpcpp isn't the only package having qualms with boost lately.

yes, it should. this is a regression in boost-1.57. it is neither present in 1.56, nor in 1.58, however last is masked. I agree, about such cases are confusing. What happened here, is that beta bump of ncmpcpp *not* checked against boost-1.57, which is the version everyone have on ~arch boxes, otherwise, during pre-bump test (if such ever performed), this failure supposed to be found.

Developer of ncmpcpp here.

This issue can be solved properly at boost level. I believe this is the relevant patch: https://github.com/boostorg/range/commit/1617a513d29b579d1cbda2af29b395ed31ee07e5

In can also be solved at ncmpcpp level by applying a patch from this bug report: http://bugs.musicpd.org/view.php?id=4352. The problem is that it also requires applying "-fpermissive" to compilation flags (that's why I chose not to merge it). Sadly, there is no sane workaround.

I made a pull request based on Andrzej's comment and the proposed patch.
Both 0.7 and 9999 compile and work fine.

Hi Jeroen,
Did you get a chance to look at the patch?

I think boost maintainers should explain first about their stabilisation plans, before we start patching random packages for a problem that might go away by itself.
